The Design
Former Queen Elizabeth II’s bust is imprinted on the obverse side, as designed by Raphael Maklouf.
Her Majesty’s crowned bust is surrounded by “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE TWO DOLLARS,” “2017”, and “2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER,” which informs the coin’s legal tender, face value, year of issuance, weight, purity, and metal content.
Gustave Duré signed the reverse design. It showcases the moment in which Roman soldiers nail Jesus on a wooden cross, the one He carried through the old city of Jerusalem in the path of His crucifixion. The coin’s name, “NAILING CHRIST TO THE CROSS,” is engraved on top.
The absence of limiting rims in these coins allows the entire usage of the surface to imprint the reverse design. 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
The Biblical Series debuted in 2015, promising a complete series of 60 two-ounce coins. “Nailing Christ to the Cross” is the 14th strike of the series and one of those released in 2017, along with “Jacob Wrestles the Angel,” “The Wise Men,” and “The Death of Abel.” Each reverse side showcases a famous scene described in the Bible and designed by the renowned French artist Gustave Duré.
The Packaging
Each coin is individually packed and shipped in a Bible Gift Box, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
