Additional information

Niue has long operated as one of the Pacific's most prolific issuing authorities for commemorative coinage, licensing its sovereignty to private minting firms that produce collector pieces with no meaningful circulation. This piece marks a 1997 meeting between Diana, Princess of Wales and Mother Teresa in New York — both women died within days of each other that same year, Diana on August 31 and Teresa on September 5, a coincidence that briefly dominated global media and has since anchored a small cottage industry of dual commemoratives.
