This piece belongs to a Polish historical cities series issued by Niue — a sovereign Pacific microstate that has licensed its coinage authority extensively since the 1990s, producing commemoratives almost entirely for the collector export market. The coins have no circulation function whatsoever in Niue itself.
Gdańsk's selection reflects its outsized role in 20th-century history: the Free City of Danzig, contested between Germany and Poland after Versailles, was the precise flashpoint where the Second World War began on 1 September 1939, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the Polish garrison at Westerplatte.
