Its combination of intricate engraving and natural opal creates an eye-catching addition to collections of Australian wildlife, precious metals and limited-edition proof coins.

Design

The reverse depicts the Blue Triangle butterfly among delicate native flora, with detailed engraving capturing the distinctive shape and pattern of its wings. A genuine iridescent Australian opal insert adds a vibrant flash of colour to the design, creating a striking contrast against the silver finish.

The design is framed by the inscriptions “OPAL WINGS” and “BLUE TRIANGLE”, identifying the series and featured butterfly.

The obverse shows an effigy of Charles III, and its monetary denomination of two dollars as legal tender under the authority of Niue. It is produced by The Coin Company Australia
