2 Dollars - Charles III Garfield

Niue has been licensing its sovereignty for commemorative silver rounds since the 1990s, functioning less as a Pacific monetary authority and more as a legal wrapper for the international bullion and collector market. This piece is part of that apparatus — a New Zealand-administered territory of roughly 1,500 people issuing face-value currency it has no practical use for, denominated in New Zealand dollars but struck to one-troy-ounce bullion specifications for overseas buyers.

James A. Garfield remains the only sitting U.S. president elected directly from the House of Representatives, in 1880.
