The 2023 $5 Siren 2oz Silver Proof Coin, our latest nautical masterpiece, celebrates the mythical sea siren - a creature of deadly beauty. The Siren originates in ancient Greek mythology - a wicked temptress who takes the form of a half-woman, half-bird. The Roman poet Ovid wrote that the Sirens were once the human companions of Persephone, the daughter of the goddess Demeter. When Persephone was stolen by Hades, the God of the underworld, Demeter turned the Sirens into birds as punishment. The legend of the Siren, as the creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with the irresistible sweetness of their song, was further disseminated through the works of Homer, when the hero Odysseus faced them in his long journey back to Ithaca. In modern times, the Siren is often portrayed as a stunning, but lethal, mermaid – the quintessential temptress capable of luring hardened sailors to their death with her hypnotic song. It is this desirable denizen of the deep that has been brilliantly depicted on the reverse of this spectacularly struck Niue legal tender coin.

Lady Bugs have been symbols of luck for over 1000 years! Legend says that the lady bug first gained its “Lucky” status when it kept landing on a man’s neck that was sentenced to be executed by the French guillotine. The man proclaimed his innocence and the Lady Bug kept landing on his neck to distract the executioner. It was seen as a divine intervention and spared the man’s life and later he was proven innocent.
The Lady Bug’s legend grew as European farmers prayed for help from pesky insects and Lady Bugs arrived shortly after. They were named after Virgin Mary and have since been a blessing for generations! Many tales about their famous spots have arisen as a way to tell their age or how many years of good luck you will have.
This wonderful 1 oz silver Proof will surely be a good luck token for you! Never before has a Lady Bug been brought onto a coin in such a beautiful way.

Everyone hopes that he or she will find happiness in the form of a four-leaf clover. The Czech Mint decided to make this a little easier for everyone and prepared a silver coin with Czech crystal from the Crystal Coin gift line.
Clover is an ordinary herb with a modest appearance - it has a purple flower and a trifoliate leaf. However, approximately one plant out of ten thousand differs from its relative species - it has one extra leaf. Finding such a rare specimen in a meadow is not easy at all. It is no wonder that the fourth leaf of the four-leaf clover, which according to legend was brought by the biblical Eve from the Garden of Eden, has always been associated with happiness. The other three leaves then represent hope, faith and love. If you want a four-leaf clover to provide you with its magical power, you need to carry it with you - dried and pressed. Our ancestors, who wanted to protect their home, also placed it under the threshold. Moreover, the girls who wished to see the future groom in the dream put it under the pillow for a change.
The reverse side of the coin, which was processed by the medal maker Petra Brodská, DiS., presents two four-leaf clovers - one in the form of a relief ornament and the other composed of cut crystal stones. The composition of the reverse side is supplemented with a Czech-English inscription of ČTYŘLÍSTEK PRO ŠTĚSTÍ - FOUR-LEAF CLOVER FOR GOOD LUCK. You will also find the decoration in the form of an indicated heart-shaped leaf on the obverse side. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are licensed by the foreign issuer, the island of Niue, they bear the attributes of the obverse -, the year of issue 2025 and the nominal value of 2 DOLLARS (WST).
The coin comes in a limited edition of 1000 pieces and is an original gift for every occasion. It is stored in an elegant packaging which you can easily turn into a practical frame.
