1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Poets' Corner

Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1970s, leveraging a currency agreement with New Zealand that permits it to produce legal tender denominated in New Zealand dollars. The Poets' Corner series draws on the famous section of Westminster Abbey where writers from Chaucer to Dickens are interred or memorialized — a site that has accumulated literary monuments since the 14th century.

KM#4743 is one of dozens of themed issues Niue releases annually through licensing arrangements with external distributors, most notably the Polish Mint, which strikes the majority of these programs.
