| Additional information |
Niue's long-running bullion and collector gold program operates under a licensing arrangement that lets the island nation — with a population under 2,000 — issue coins struck entirely at foreign mints and distributed globally. The Horse series falls within the Chinese lunar calendar cycle that has driven a substantial share of Pacific island commemorative gold output since the 1990s, when collector demand from Hong Kong and Singapore made the format commercially viable for small sovereign issuers.
2026 is the Year of the Wood Horse, the first Wood Horse since 1954.
