The Design

The obverse depicts a young crowned Queen Elizabeth II in her fourth official effigy designed by Raphael Maklouf.

The inscriptions surrounding the Queen’s depiction correspond to the coin’s legal tender face value, year of issuance, weight, purity, and metal content. They read “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE TWO DOLLARS,” “2022”, and “2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER.”

The reverse design created by Gustave Duré’ portrays the passage of the Scriptures found in Acts 2, 1:11. After Jesus' ascension, on Pentecost day, the Holy Spirit descended over the disciples at once, providing them with the ability to speak in foreign languages and being understood by people from different origins. The words “DESCENT OF THE SPIRIT” are inscribed at the bottom rim.

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 debuted in 2015, promising a complete series of 60 two-ounce coins. The “Descent of the Spirit” corresponds to the 45th strike of the series, which was released in 2022. Each reverse side showcases a famous scene described in the Bible and designed by the renowned French artist Gustave Duré.

The Packaging

Each coin comes in an alluring bible-shaped box accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
