Few major silver bullion coin programs change their nation of issue after first being released. The Niue Hawksbill Turtle joins the Somalian Elephant coin as perhaps the only coins of their kind that spent years using the same designs for a different nation of issue. Now a popular annual release among investors worldwide, today you can get the 2018 1/2 oz Silver New Zealand $1 Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coin online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you inside of protective flips for individual coins or mint tubes for multiple of 20.
  • Ninth release of the Silver Hawksbill Turtle coins!
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Face value of $1 (NZD) is fully backed by Niue’s government.
  • Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of the coin.
  • A hawksbill turtle swims on the reverse design field of the coin.

When the New Zealand Mint first issued the Hawksbill Turtle coin design, it was issued for the nation of Fiji. From 2010 to 2013, the coins were issued for Fiji with the same Hawksbill Turtle coin design still found on the coins today. There were two major differences to the coin program then compared to now.

First and foremost, the coins were known as the Fiji Taku, using the local Fijian language word for the hawksbill turtle as the name for the series. Also, the coins originally featured the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. For the final issue year for Fiji, the coins had the Fijian crest on the obverse instead.

The 2018 1/2 oz Silver Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins available from Silver.com today are in BU condition. Coins in this condition show no signs of wear and tear, but there is the possibility for minor flaws. These issues stem from the production process and include the potential for breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks.

On the reverse of the Silver Niue Hawksbill Turtle coin is the image of the hawksbill. The turtle is depicted swimming through bubbly waters in the South Pacific, and there is a slice of the coin’s design field that features an engraving of the word “Turtle.” You’ll also find the weight, purity, and metal content engraved on this face.

The obverse of all 2018 1/2 oz Silver New Zealand Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins features Her Majesty’s right-profile effigy. The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II featured on these coins is the fourth generation design for commonwealth coinage. It was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.

New Zealand Mint is a private minting company in Auckland, and is the only private mint in the nation. It has no affiliation with the government of New Zealand though, as all legal-tender coins and banknotes for the nation are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
