DOUBLE ARMED CROSS Detva 1 Oz Silver Coin 1$ Niue 2023

The reverse of the coin features the double-armed cross, a variation of the traditional Christian cross, with two horizontal bars representing the arms of Christ. The upper bar is often longer than the lower one, creating a distinctive shape. The origins of the double-armed cross are unclear, but it likely dates back to pre-Christian times, when the symbol may have represented the sun god or other deities. Over time, the symbol became associated with Christianity and was adopted as a symbol of Slovakian identity and pride. The obverse of the coin shows the Public Seal of Niue, along with the inscriptions: "2023" – the year of issue and "ONE DOLLAR" – the face value.
