Additional information

Niue has operated as a vehicle for themed collector coinage since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign issuing authority to foreign minting houses — primarily the Polish Mint — which produces the bulk of these wildlife and animal series pieces under contract. This particular issue belongs to a cat breeds program that ran across multiple years, with individual mintages typically held below 2,000 pieces to sustain secondary market demand.

The Javanese is a longhaired variant of the Oriental Shorthair, developed in the United States in the latter half of the twentieth century — not Indonesia, despite the name.
