We are delighted to present the latest release in the Chess Series: Gold Chess Rook 1 oz Proof – Platinum-Plated 2026 – a tribute to the chess piece Rook! Thanks to its high mobility, the Rook is considered more valuable than a Knight or Bishop and has the ability to launch fast, long-range attacks. Named after the Persian word for chariot – “rukh” – the Rook in chess symbolizes dangerous ranged attacks, inspired by swift and mobile Persian war chariots manned by archers.

A masterpiece of numismatic artistry: The coin is crafted from a sumptuous blend of 99.99% gold and 99.95% platinum. The mintage is strictly limited to only 99 pieces!

The Design of the Gold Coin

The obverse of the coin features a castle with a distinctive chessboard pattern and a female archer, symbolizing the Rook’s ability to strike from a distance. Birds are also depicted, representing the deadly precision of arrows in flight. The word “ROOK” is inscribed vertically in bold capital letters.

The reverse of the coin shows the portrait of King Charles III. Above it are the inscriptions “CHARLES III” and “NIUE 2026”. Below, the coin is marked with the weight “1 oz”, the fineness “9999 GOLD”, and the face value “100 DOLLARS”.
