Niue's legal tender licensing arrangements with the New Zealand Treasury allow the island — population under 2,000 — to issue coins that have no practical circulation role whatsoever. The revenue model is the point: Niue retains the seigniorage on collector issues sold internationally, a arrangement that has made it one of the most prolific novelty coin issuers in the Pacific.
This piece pairs a reigning British monarch with a fictional Jedi Master under a Disney licensing agreement — three separate intellectual and legal frameworks on a single coin.
