Exceptionally Detailed Jason and Chiron Design
Obverse: An image of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in a right facing pose is centered upon a shield on the obverse. The portrait is encircled by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE” and “5 DOLLARS.” Additional inscriptions appearing adjacent to the effigy include “AG 999” and the initials “IRB,” which credit the rendition of the monarch to award-winning British sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. The shield overlaps the fleece and a variety of weapons, with a ram’s head below and the date “2022” above.
Reverse: The reverse features Jason standing in the foreground of an idyllic ancient Greek styled garden, with a gilded Golden Fleece draped over his shoulder, while Chiron stands protectively at his side. The image is partially framed by a Greek meander type border. “JASON AND CHIRON” is inscribed beside the hero, near the logo for the series, a circular inset containing a Corinthian helmet and the series title “ARGONAUTS.”
