This piece belongs to a wave of ultra-low-weight fractional gold issues that proliferated through the 2020s, struck for Niue under the standard arrangement by which the island territory licenses its monetary authority to produce collector coinage with no expectation of circulation. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother died in March 2002 at 101 years old, making her one of the longest-lived members of the British royal family on record. By 2022, commemorative issues marking her centenary and the anniversary of her death had become a predictable fixture across several Pacific issuing authorities.
