| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and commemorative licensing vehicle since the 1990s, contracting with private mints — primarily the New Zealand Mint — to produce silver pieces that trade almost entirely on collector demand rather than any domestic monetary function. The island's GDP would not sustain a circulating dollar of this weight. This particular piece revives the Flowing Hair Dollar design, the first federally authorized dollar coin of the United States, originally struck at Philadelphia in 1794 and 1795 from dies cut by Robert Scot.
The 1794 original is the most expensive coin ever sold at auction — a single example realized over $10 million in 2013.
