10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Wernher von Braun

Niue's commemorative silver program in the early 1990s was essentially a licensing operation — the island nation of roughly 2,000 people had no meaningful domestic coin demand and used its sovereign minting rights to produce collectibles for the international market. Von Braun is a complicated honoree: the former SS officer and architect of the V-2 program at Peenemünde, where forced labor from concentration camps was worked to death, became NASA's most celebrated rocket engineer after Operation Paperclip brought him to the United States in 1945.
