2 Dollars 50 Cents - Charles III Sweden-Denmark

This piece belongs to Niue's ongoing program of issuing small-denomination gold coins under licensing arrangements that allow the island territory's name to appear as issuer while the coins are produced and marketed entirely for the collector market — Niue itself has no meaningful domestic coin circulation. Charles III of Sweden-Denmark ruled from 1560 to 1568, a tenure defined almost entirely by the Northern Seven Years' War, which he helped instigate through aggressive Baltic trade ambitions that put Sweden in direct conflict with Denmark, Lübeck, and Poland simultaneously.
