| Additional information |
The tiger snake series from Niue has become one of the more reliably subscribed Australian wildlife issues in the Pacific sovereign mint space, largely because Niue's arrangement with New Zealand allows it to issue legal tender coins without operating its own monetary infrastructure. The island's population hovers around 1,500, making it one of the least populous coin-issuing jurisdictions on earth.
Tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) carry a neurotoxic venom that caused significant mortality in rural Australia before antivenom became widely available in 1930.
