1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Meowth

Niue has long operated as one of the more commercially aggressive issuers of licensed novelty coinage, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to enter currency agreements with foreign minting operations. This Meowth dollar is part of a early-2000s wave of Pokémon-licensed issues that Niue produced as the franchise was at peak saturation in Western markets — collectibles aimed squarely at the secondary market, with negligible circulation on the island itself, whose population at the time was under 2,000.
