Description
A Tribute to the Ayyubid Warriors
This extraordinary 1 oz .999 silver coin honors the legendary Ayyubid warriors — the elite fighting force of Sultan Salah ad-Din (Saladin), one of the greatest commanders in history. Renowned for their discipline, precision, and unmatched skill in both cavalry and archery, the Ayyubid warriors were instrumental in defending the Islamic world and reshaping the balance of power during the Crusades.
Struck by the New Zealand Mint and issued as legal tender by Niue, this limited-mintage piece captures the spirit of courage, strategy, and resilience that defined Saladin’s army. The dramatic battle artwork reflects the intensity of medieval warfare, while the refined silver finish elevates the coin into a true collector’s treasure.
With only 5,000 pieces worldwide, this coin is not just a work of art — it is a tangible link to a heroic chapter of Islamic and world history.
