Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for collector markets since the 1980s, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to license its name to mint programs with no connection to local circulation.

Charles III appears here by licensing arrangement, as he does on dozens of similar Niue issues annually.
