2 Dollars - Charles III Ms.PAC-MAN

Niue has operated as one of the more commercially aggressive issuers of legal-tender collector coins since the 1990s, licensing pop culture properties through the New Zealand Mint to generate revenue for an island nation with a population under 2,000. The Ms. Pac-Man license — distinct from the original Pac-Man trademark and historically a source of its own intellectual property disputes between Namco and Midway — adds a minor layer of numismatic curiosity here.

Charles III's effigy appears on this issue as the first year of his reign coinage following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
