1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Marshalls of China's Army

This is one of a series of commemorative dollars issued by Niue under licensing arrangements that became increasingly common among Pacific island nations in the early 2000s — jurisdictions with limited mint infrastructure but treaty rights allowing them to produce legal tender coins sold primarily to the collector market. The specific subject, marshals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, reflects a wave of Chinese-themed numismatic issues produced during this period targeting collectors in mainland China, Hong Kong, and the diaspora market.
