2 Dollars - Charles III Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Niue has maintained a licensing agreement with the Pokémon Company since at least 2001, making it one of the earliest sovereign issuers to mint official Pokémon legal tender — a arrangement that has produced dozens of issues and remains commercially active. This Blue-Eyes White Dragon piece is issued under a parallel agreement with Konami for the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, not Pokémon, reflecting Niue's broader strategy of monetizing Japanese intellectual property through its coin program. The island's GDP is small enough that commemorative licensing revenue constitutes a measurable portion of government income.
