Coins in the Biblical Series are minted by the Scottsdale Mint using antiqued blanks. The blanks used are comprised of two troy ounces of silver bullion. All silver coins are backed by a sovereign government, and the Biblical series are designated as coins because they are backed by the Niue government, a small island country off the eastern coast of Australia. Each Biblical Series coin also comes with its own Certificate of Authenticity and a beautiful mint box in the shape and design of the Bible.

The “Firstborn Slain” is in reference to the tenth plague of the Bible. In this plague, the firstborn child in many Egyptian families were killed. The reasoning for God doing this is due to the Pharaoh’s refusal to free the Israelite slaves of Egypt. God knew that firstborn children were sacred in Egypt, so he knew killing firstborn children would cause him to break and set the Israelites free. God commanded each family that each family who wanted to save their child must kill a lamb and put its blood on their door. When the angel of death saw the lamb’s blood, it would pass over the house and spare the child inside.

The obverse of these Biblical Series coins features a young portrait of Queen Elizabeth in her crown. Around her are the words “QUEEN ELIZABETH II”, “2oz 999 FINE SILVER”, “2019”, & “NIUE TWO DOLLARS”.

The reverse features an angel of death leaving the home of an Egyptian family. Behind the angel, the slain firstborn male of the family is depicted along with his distraught family members. The words “THE FIRSTBORN SLAIN” are minted at the very top of the coin.
