Niue's licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint and various private distributors have made it one of the most prolific issuing authorities for commemorative silver rounds in the modern era — a function of its 1972 Arrangement with New Zealand, which handles its actual monetary affairs while leaving Niue free to sell collector coins as a revenue stream. This piece commemorates the public kiss shared by Charles and Diana on the Buckingham Palace balcony following their 1981 wedding, an image that became one of the most reproduced photographs of the twentieth century.
