The Niue Island is happy to present absolutely splendid series of Zodiac in which the elegant pure silver coins are decorated with fantastic illustrations of modern Japanese digital artist Yutaka Kagaya. Yutaka is one of the first "digital" artists; starting since 1995 he has been creating his wonderful paintings with the help of computer technology and the light pen.
The obverse of the Taurus coin shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Face value of the silver coin and the year of issue, are placed along the edge of the obverse as well as the graphic symbols of zodiac signs.
The reverse of the spectacular coin represents the work of the artist on which metamorphosed into the white bull Zeus, the master of all gods, passes through the waters of magnificent ocean with his beloved and admired Europe stunning princess of Phoenica on his back. White bull and his attractive companion are heading for honeymoon far land. The Taurean temper is hardly ever displayed impulsively, but when the bull gets furious, he can destroy everything in his way. You will always be able to distinguish the Taurus from the crowd by the extremely silent behaviour. Until you get to know each other closer, he will give the impression of a very silent man. His movements, manner of speaking are measured; he is a man of few words. Taurus woman likes to make a good impression on people and is very hospitable. She is always a good friend to her husband, reliable and faithful.
