100 Dollars - Elizabeth II - Amber Route: Europe

Niue's numismatic program has long operated as a vehicle for third-party commemorative producers — in this case, the Polish mint, which dominated the amber-inlay coin market in the early 2010s. The Amber Route series commemorates the ancient trade network running from the Baltic coast south through central Europe to the Mediterranean, a corridor actively in use as early as the Neolithic period and formalized by Roman demand for Baltic amber around the 1st century AD.

The nine separate amber inlays are sourced from the Baltic region. Each piece varies slightly in color and clarity, meaning no two examples in this series are strictly identical.
