Above them, the Sun and Moon frame the scene. An antique finish gives the relief depth, while selective gilding adds warmth to the intricate design.

The first release in The World series, this 2026 Niue 2oz .999 silver coin offers a distinctive centrepiece for collectors drawn to mythology and ambitious coin artistry. Its layered composition rewards close attention, from the elephants’ textured skin to the turtle’s patterned shell. Make room for a world imagined in silver, and explore Akupara at FORTYMILLION.
