The concept of Hibernia as a personification of Ireland dates back to classical times. The term "Hibernia" itself is derived from the Latin word for Ireland, "Hibernia," which was used by ancient Roman writers to refer to the island. Over time, this personification evolved into a symbolic representation of Ireland, often depicted as a female figure.

The obverse side of 2024 Niue Silver Hibernia Coins comes with a depiction of the Public Seal of Niue. The official emblem of the nation and its government, the seal features native flaura at the center of a wheel with the national motto below and a crown atop the seal symbolizing Niue’s historic ties to the United Kingdom.

On the reverse of 2024 1 oz Silver Hibernia Coins, you’ll find the image of the female allegory for Ireland. Hibernia is shown here in full-length relief as she holds a spear in her right hand. Wearing a Corinthian helmet, she looks toward the spear in her right hand as her left hand rests on the Harp of Ireland.
