2021 Niue 'The World Folklore Symbols' - Love .999 Silver Prooflike Coin

There are countless languages around the world. But there is only one language that everyone recognizes and understands: the language of love. A coin dedicated to the love of the whole world, to nature and humanity, to all of us – the Love Coin.    

The coin depicts the symbols of the love of the Baltic culture, used by our ancestors from ancient times and still recognised today. It originates from nature, family, emotions and feelings, which in the culture of ancestors had specific meanings of cosiness and respect. Do you still recognise the meanings of the symbols depicted on the Love coin today? Let’s try to reveal their meanings together.

DESIGN

The packaging of the coin is handmade from natural linen, produced in the social workshop at the Valakupiai Rehabilitation Centre in Lithuania. The packaging is designed to reinforce the idea of love and humanity for each other. By purchasing products made by people with mental and/or psychosocial disabilities, you are also contributing to social change and better integration into society.

Reverse: The heart-shaped Swarovski crystal visible from both sides is in the centre of the coin. It is surrounded by symbols of Baltic culture. These are symbols of home security, family, nature, tolerance, respect, life, happiness and love.
