Niger's "Kiwi" gold issues belong to a class of fractional coins produced almost entirely for the collector market, with no meaningful domestic circulation — Niger has no native kiwi population and no cultural connection to New Zealand's national bird. The series was struck under contract, as Niger itself operates no mint.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, the piece contains just under one sixty-fourth of a troy ounce.
