Magic: The Gathering launched in 1993 as the world's first trading card game and remains the dominant collectible card game by both revenue and player base. Niue has issued licensed pop-culture silver rounds under its authority since the early 2010s, a revenue arrangement common among small Pacific island nations whose minting programs exist almost entirely as numismatic products with no domestic circulation intent. The face value is nominal by design — the coin's market price is driven by the licensed IP and silver spot, not by anything Niue's government controls.
