Niue's lunar series coins are legal tender in name only — the island's actual currency is the New Zealand dollar, and these issues exist entirely for the collector market, authorized under Niue's arrangement with New Zealand that permits it to issue commemorative coinage. The 2007 Rat piece falls at the opening of a twelve-year cycle, which typically drives stronger initial demand among collectors assembling complete lunar sets.
KM#348 is the standard non-coloured issue; coloured variants from the same year carry separate catalog numbers and command a modest premium.
