Niue 2026 $1 Chess The Rook 1oz Silver Black Proof Coin

Named after the Persian word for chariot (rukh), the Rook in chess embodies dangerous, long range attacks from fast, mobile Persian war-chariots, often bearing archers. The coin bears a grandiose depiction of a castle bearing the chequered patterns of a chessboard, united with an archer representing the Rook's capacity for attacking from distance. The perfect finishing touch, the birds are symbolic of lethal arrows in flight. Your move.
