| Additional information |
Niue has issued silver dollars under licensing arrangements with foreign mints — primarily the New Zealand Mint — since the early 1990s, functioning essentially as a bullion and collector coin platform for a Pacific island territory with a population under 2,000. The Sombrero Galaxy, catalogued as Messier 104, sits roughly 28 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo and was first resolved into individual stars by Edwin Hubble in 1917.
