Information about the Silver Chess Rook 1 oz – Black Proof 2026

We are pleased to present the latest release in the Chess Series: Silver Chess Rook 1 oz – Black Proof 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, far-reaching strikes, inspired by the swift and mobile Persian war chariots carrying archers. The mintage is strictly limited to only 999 pieces!

The Design of the Silver Coin

The obverse of the coin features a castle with the distinctive checkered chessboard pattern and a female archer, symbolizing the Rook’s ability to attack from a distance. Birds are also depicted, emphasizing the deadly precision of arrows in flight. The word "ROOK" is inscribed vertically in 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, you will find the weight “1 oz”, the fineness “999 SILVER”, and the face value “ONE DOLLAR”.
