2025 Niue Moving Squirrels 1 oz Silver High Relief Colorized Proof Coin

The 19th century principle of the phenakistoscope is applied for the first time in the world to a collector’s coin, with a new look inspired by the past, and the result is astonishing, creating the illusion of movement with a simple rotation of the coin.

A myriad of squirrels appear and disappear, giving a perfect sense of movement with their swift clicks, surrounded by a cascade of nuts running in all directions: a stunning optical illusion.

The coin comes in a blister pack that can be rotated with your finger.
