1 Dollar - Charles III Rainbow Lorikeet

Niue has operated as a vehicle for the New Zealand-administered collector coin market since the 1990s, its sovereignty lending legal tender status to issues that have no meaningful circulation history on the island itself — population roughly 1,600. The Rainbow Lorikeet series continues a long-running wildlife program produced almost certainly by a European mint on contract, a common arrangement for Pacific micro-state numismatic programs.

KM#7016 is a recent catalog addition with thin independent documentation at time of writing.
