Niue has functioned since the 1990s as a legal-tender platform for commemorative issues produced largely for the collector market, with the New Zealand government underwriting the territory's monetary arrangements. The "Tatra 87" referenced here is the Czechoslovak Tatra 87 automobile, an aerodynamically radical rear-engined car designed by Hans Ledwinka and Paul Jaray in the late 1930s whose streamlined bodywork predated most European mass-market thinking on drag reduction by two decades.
Ferdinand Porsche later acknowledged Ledwinka's influence on his own designs — a point that became legally significant in postwar licensing disputes between Volkswagen and Tatra.
