| Additional information |
Issued the same year Diana died, this Niuean commemorative was one of hundreds of similar pieces flooding the market within weeks of the August 1997 crash in Paris. Niue — a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand — had by the 1990s become a reliable vehicle for foreign coin marketing firms producing commemoratives with minimal sovereign involvement. Most of these pieces were sold through mail-order and television shopping channels rather than through any numismatic trade.
Collector demand collapsed almost as quickly as it appeared. The secondary market remains saturated.
