Additional information

Niue has operated as a coin-issuing vehicle for foreign bullion and collector programs since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to license its name to mints — primarily the New Zealand Mint — producing issues with no meaningful connection to the island's roughly 1,600 residents. This piece is one of dozens of animal-themed dollars struck under that arrangement.
