Additional information

Niue has long licensed its sovereign coinage authority to private minting operations seeking a legal-tender wrapper for collectible issues, and this Bulbasaur dollar is an early example of that arrangement. The Pokémon franchise was at peak commercial saturation in 2001, and several Pacific island nations raced to capture the collector market. Niue's series, struck in .999 silver at 7.77 g, maps precisely onto the fractional bullion format popularized by the Perth Mint — a deliberate choice to appeal to both Pokémon collectors and silver stackers simultaneously.
