1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Year of the Dog

Niue has issued Chinese Lunar calendar coins under licensing arrangements for decades, with the series functioning largely as a vehicle for the New Zealand Mint rather than any domestic monetary policy — Niue's own population hovers around 1,600 people. The Dog year 2018 issue falls within a crowded collector market; the Perth Mint, New Zealand Mint, and Royal Australian Mint all competed for the same buyer pool that year.
