Livadia Palace, built for Nicholas II between 1910 and 1911 near Yalta in Crimea, served as the summer retreat of the last Romanov tsar and later as the site of the 1945 Yalta Conference, where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin divided postwar Europe. Niue has issued dozens of similar silver pieces under licensing arrangements that allow it to produce numismatic items well beyond any domestic monetary need — the island's population sits under 2,000.
