10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Nisse

Niue has issued gold under its own authority since the 1990s, but the coin program is administered entirely by New Zealand's treasury apparatus — Niue itself has no mint, no central bank, and a population hovering around 1,500. The "Nisse" subject draws from Scandinavian folklore, a nod to the Danish and Norwegian missionaries whose cultural influence in the Pacific left an unlikely imprint on the island's commemorative output.
