This is the 2022 Niue Silver Song of the Buffalo — the Spirit of Liberty bison issue — 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
Why this coin stands out: Unlike a plain buffalo round, this is legal-tender Niue $2 coinage from the last full year of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
One side is a full American-plains scene: a Native warrior in a buffalo-horn headdress with a herd moving behind him. The other is a lone bison under a sunburst, with the “SPIRIT OF LIBERTY” legend and the official Niue public-seal / Two Dollars imprint sitting in the field.
Wildlife collectors and U.S. theme buyers both chase this one because the design actually fills the flan instead of floating a tiny animal in empty space.
