The Design

The obverse features an elegant Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy through the eyes of Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding Her Majesty’s bust, the inscriptions list the coin's information. They read: “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE TWO DOLLARS,” “2016”, and “2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER,” referring to Her Majesty’s name, the nation which ensures the coin’s legal tender status, face value, year of issuance, weight, purity, and metal content.

The biblical scene reflected on the reverse side is the parable of The Good Samaritan.

The image showcases a Samaritan, someone disliked because of his origin in the time of Jesus. He shows mercy to an injured man by carrying him in his horse and providing for his recovery. 

The coin’s name, “THE GOOD SAMARITAN,” is engraved at the bottom rim, on the right.

The absence of limiting rims in these coins allows the entire usage of the surface. The antique shadow, allied with the dark luster from the proof finish, emphasizes the aspect of ancientness and highlights the most intricate design details.

The Biblical Series debuted in 2015, promising a complete series of 60 two-ounce coins. The Good Samaritan is the 10th strike of the series, released in 2016. Each reverse side showcases a famous scene described in the Bible and designed by the renowned French artist Gustave Duré.

The Packaging
