| Additional information |
Niue has long served as a licensing authority for third-party commemorative programs, and this piece falls squarely within that commercial framework — the island nation collects royalties while private mints handle design, production, and distribution. The "Bombs Gone" subject references the moment of ordnance release in WWII bomber operations, a theme that attracted a dedicated collector base in the aviation militaria market around the mid-2010s.
Struck by the New Zealand Mint under license.
