| Additional information |
Part of a broader wave of small-format bullion-adjacent collectibles flooding the Pacific Island issuer market, this piece derives its nominal authority from Niue's status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, which permits it to issue legal tender under New Zealand Crown authority. The $15 NZD denomination is essentially fictional in spending terms — no one is buying groceries in Alofi with a 3.11g gold coin.
Fernando Hierro managed the Spanish national team for precisely one World Cup match in 2018, stepping in after Julen Lopetegui was sacked the day before the tournament opened.
