“All hail” this truly regal legal tender coin celebrating chess, one of the oldest and widely played strategic games in the world. Featuring the king, the most important piece in the game, this numismatic work of art is set to rule your collection with a powerful combination of exclusivity, beauty and precious metals. A rare opportunity for the numismatist seeking to elevate their collecting game, or chess champion looking to add a touch of class to their collection!

Exuding power and strength, the reverse design of this Niue legal tender masterpiece is an inspired celebration of the king chess piece. Spectacularly struck from 1oz of 99.99% PURE GOLD, the crowned king is presented holding a sword with the King Chess Piece at its hilt. Selectively plated in PLATINUM, the sword stands out magnificently against the mirror-bright
gold background. The king’s attire boasts the bold chequered pattern of a chess board, as well as a lion and dragon adorning his shoulders – ancient heraldic symbols representing courage, nobility, strength and valor.

The origins of chess are complicated by its long history, but it is thought to have originated from a war game known as ‘chaturanga’, or ‘shatranj’, popular in southern parts of central Asia after 600 BC. The game spread to Europe via the Byzantine and the expanding Arabian Empires, with stylized game boards, often adorned with precious stones, becoming popular. Over time the king became the largest piece, acquired a crown and sometimes even an elaborate throne and mace.

This is your chance to own a unique coin destined to reign supreme. Part of a strictly limited edition of ONLY 99 WORLDWIDE, this king of coins comes beautifully presented, complete with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The next move is yours… Buy now!
