1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Charmander

Niue has operated one of the most commercially aggressive legal-tender licensing programs in Pacific coinage, contracting with foreign minting houses to produce themed collector pieces well outside any domestic monetary need. This 2001 Charmander dollar was part of an early Pokémon series issued under a New Zealand-administered agreement, timed to the peak of the franchise's first Western wave — the animated series had debuted in North America only in 1998.

KM#131 sees extremely limited secondary-market documentation, suggesting low survival rates in collectible condition despite negligible actual circulation.
