The second release in T&S Coin's Soul of Japan series, Kitsune explores the captivating fox spirits of Japanese folklore. Depicted as an elegant woman holding a white fox mask, the central figure reflects the mystery of a shapeshifting creature associated with wisdom, protection and deception. Her richly coloured kimono, ornate hair accessories and delicate gilded details contrast with the antique-finished silver backdrop. The scene incorporates foxes, stone lanterns and traditional shrine architecture inspired by the sacred pathways of Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Taisha. The reverse features Niue's public seal within an elaborate ornamental crest, alongside the denomination and issue year. Struck from 2oz of .999 fine silver, this 45mm coin features 2.0mm high relief and selective gilding. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, each coin is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and presented in a display case.
