Niue's numismatic program has long operated as a revenue vehicle for the island government, licensing its sovereign issuing rights to private minting firms — primarily the New Zealand Mint — who develop themed collector series with little connection to the territory itself. The Amor and Psyche series is a product of that arrangement, drawing on the Roman mythological narrative transmitted most fully through Apuleius's Metamorphoses, written in the 2nd century AD.
This is part two of a two-coin set, completing the narrative arc of the myth.
