| Additional information |
Niue's legal tender coinage has long functioned as a vehicle for the Perth Mint's bullion programs, and this issue is precisely that — a Perth-struck coin carrying Niuean authority purely as a licensing arrangement. The Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax fleayi) subspecies it honors was listed as endangered under Australian federal law, with a wild population estimated at fewer than 1,000 individuals at the time of issue.
