| Additional information |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint produces legal tender coinage that Niue itself has no practical monetary use for — the island runs on New Zealand dollars. This piece, at 0.31 g of fine gold, belongs to the fractional bullion market almost entirely, the face value a legal fiction required to make it coinage rather than a commodity.
