Niue has served as a licensing vehicle for foreign coin programs since the 1990s, with the New Zealand government administering its currency while private minting companies — primarily European — design and market the actual products. This piece is one of several dozen biblical-theme issues released under that arrangement, aimed squarely at collector and gift markets rather than any circulation purpose.
KM#923 is a World Mint-distributed program coin. Its numismatic interest lies in the series framework, not the issuer.
