100 Dollars - Charles III Mickey: Steamboat Willie

Niue has long operated as a licensing platform for the global collector market, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while maintaining nominal face values that bear no relationship to bullion content.

Half a troy ounce of .9999 fine gold carrying a $100 Niuean face value against spot prices that dwarf it by orders of magnitude.
