1 Dollar - Charles III Nefertiti

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed bullion since the early 2000s, issuing coins under New Zealand's currency authority while contracting designs to European mints — the actual striking here almost certainly done by a Polish or German facility rather than anything connected to the Pacific island itself. The Nefertiti connection traces to the famous painted limestone bust excavated at Amarna in 1912 by Ludwig Borchardt's German expedition, a piece that has sat in Berlin's Neues Museum since 1924 despite Egypt's repeated and ongoing repatriation demands.
