| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a vehicle for New Zealand-licensed commemorative coinage since the 1990s, with the tiny Pacific island's monetary arrangement with New Zealand allowing it to issue legal tender struck almost entirely for the collector market. This piece belongs to a series depicting robins — the New Zealand South Island robin, Petroica australis — rendered in high relief on a coin that will never see a cash register.
The "Charles III" obverse reflects the 2023 transition from Elizabeth II effigy dies following her death in September 2022, making early-dated Charles III issues the first Royal Mint-approved portrait change in 70 years.
