| Additional information |
The Falcon of Tutankhamun is one of the most recognizable artifacts recovered from the pharaoh's tomb when Howard Carter unsealed it in 1922 — a golden falcon pectoral inlaid with glass and semi-precious stones, part of the extraordinary cache of funerary objects that had remained undisturbed for over three thousand years. Niue has issued bullion and collector coinage under licensing arrangements for decades, effectively functioning as a mint-program vehicle for the New Zealand-administered territory's nominal sovereign issues.
