100 Dollars - Elizabeth II Snoopy Flying Ace

Niue has long funded its government through an unusual arrangement: licensing its ISO currency code and issuing commemorative coinage under New Zealand's monetary umbrella, with virtually no domestic circulation anticipated. This Snoopy piece was produced during a wave of licensed character coins that made Niue's mint program one of the more commercially aggressive in the Pacific in the early 2000s. The Flying Ace persona dates to Charles Schulz's 1965 strips, where Snoopy first imagined himself a WWI pilot atop his doghouse — Schulz died in February 2000, making this among the earliest posthumous licensed issues.
