2017 Niue $2 Warriors of History - Huns 1oz. Fine Silver (No Tax)
Human history is filled with stories of legendary warriors, who fought and conquered their enemies through the skillful use of weapons and superior battle tactics.
Under Attila (circa 406-453 AD) the Huns became the most powerful, and most feared, military force in Europe and brought death and devastation wherever they went. No weapon was more important to them than the Hunnic bow which could shoot arrows at much greater distances than any Roman or European bow. As expert horsemen they were amazingly accurate mounted archers using swift and sudden charges, unpredictable retreats, and violent hand to hand combat with tomahawks and swords to achieve overwhelming victories.
The 2017 Niue $2 Warriors of History - Huns 1oz. Fine Silver (No Tax) is the tenth coin to be released in this fascinating collection, which brings alive the stories of some of the most legendary warriors in history.
This stunning coin features a coloured illustration of a Hun dressed to fight. He stands against an antique-finished, engraved background featuring Huns charging into combat. The coin is presented in a sleek and stylishly themed rectangular coin case, with textured cover. The coin case also houses the uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
