| Additional information |
Hannibal Barca's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC — with an army that included war elephants — remains one of the most studied logistical feats in military history, though ancient sources disagree on which pass he actually used. Niue has issued dozens of these licensed collector dollars through the New Zealand Mint, most tied to historical or pop-culture figures with no connection to the island whatsoever.
The KM#735 reference places this squarely in a long run of similar issues. Mintages on these Niue silver dollars are typically capped low, but secondary market demand is driven almost entirely by the subject, not the issuing territory.
