| Additional information |
Niue's bullion and collector coin program has functioned largely as a licensing vehicle since the 1990s, with the island nation's name and monetary authority leased to foreign mints and distributors producing themed series for the global commemorative market. This Taurus piece is part of a zodiac run almost certainly struck at a contracted European or Australian facility, not on Niue itself, which has no mint.
KM#496 sees relatively low secondary-market activity, consistent with most zodiac series issues of this period that were bought for novelty and rarely traded again.
