Silver coin 1 Oz Hidden Ace

The Hidden Ace, one of the strongest cards in the deck, served as the inspiration for this unique silver coin from Power Coin.

In times when card games were hugely popular across all social classes, it was not uncommon for some players to try to influence the outcome through cheating. The symbol of such underhanded practices became the ace hidden up one’s sleeve. Whoever slipped the hidden card into play unnoticed could turn the entire game around, but if caught, they were doomed… Over time, however, what was originally a negative term for cheating became a metaphor for ingenuity and a well-thought-out strategy. In a figurative sense, an ace up one’s sleeve today does not imply dishonesty, but the ability to anticipate how a situation will unfold and to surprise one’s opponent at the right moment. Whether it’s a game, business, negotiations, sports, or everyday life, each of us sometimes keeps such an unexpected trump card up our sleeve—a plan, an idea, information, or a skill that we reveal only when it truly matters…

The commemorative coin featuring the Hidden Ace is shaped like a real card - creased, as if a card shark were actually hiding it up his sleeve. Since the coin is issued under license by a foreign issuer, the island of Niue, its obverse side also bears its necessary attributes - the national coat of arms, the nominal value of $2 (NZD), and the year of issue 2026.

The mintage of this unique coin, which is encased in a capsule, is limited to just 499 pieces.
