Niue's coinage program is essentially a licensing operation — the island nation of roughly 1,600 people generates revenue by contracting its monetary authority to private mints producing collectibles for the international bullion and numismatic market. This piece is part of that arrangement, not a coin intended for domestic circulation.
The "Belle" designation places it within a broader fairy-tale themed series. KM#4307 confirms attribution, though Krause cataloging of Niue's modern issues lags badly behind actual mintage, leaving many varieties inadequately documented for years after release.
