2015 $100 Niue Landing at Gallipoli Lenticular 1 oz Gold Proof Coin

Description

The 2015 $100 Niue Landing at Gallipoli Lenticular 1oz Gold Proof Coin is a powerful and innovative commemorative issue, marking the centenary of one of the most defining moments in Australian and New Zealand history.

Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality, this release stands apart through its use of lenticular technology on the reverse. As the viewing angle changes, the image transitions between scenes depicting the Landing at Gallipoli, creating a sense of movement and immediacy that brings the historical moment to life. This dynamic effect adds a modern dimension to traditional numismatic craftsmanship, reinforcing the gravity and complexity of the event being commemorated.

The reverse design is framed by the inscription Centenary – Landing at Gallipoli 1915–2015, honouring the moment Australian and New Zealand troops first came ashore under extreme conditions. The lenticular imagery captures both action and reflection, serving as a visual metaphor for the many perspectives through which Gallipoli is remembered.

The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscriptions NIUE 2015, 100 DOLLARS and 1oz 9999 GOLD, confirming its status as legal tender issued under the authority of Niue.

This was a strictly limited edition release of just 150 coins worldwide. Each coin is individually numbered and accompanied by its original Certificate of Authenticity. This example is number 050, adding a further layer of rarity and provenance.

Presented in its original wooden display case, the 2015 Landing at Gallipoli Lenticular 1oz Gold Proof Coin is designed for collectors who appreciate historical significance, innovative minting techniques and extreme scarcity. A standout commemorative piece that preserves a pivotal moment in history through both precious metal and visual storytelling.
