2024 Niue JOAN OF ARC Legendary Warriors 2 oz Silver Coin NGCX 10

Considered a legendary warrior, Joan of Arc defied all odds as a peasant girl without formal military training, playing a crucial role in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Her divine visions and guidance from saints swayed Charles VII to allow her to lead French forces against the English, ultimately leading to Charles VII's coronation.

Despite her eventual capture, imprisonment, and execution by burning at the stake for charges of heresy and witchcraft, Joan's leadership and victories left a lasting mark, as she was later canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920. She continues to be hailed as a symbol of courage, faith, and national pride in France.
