2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Bethlehem

Niue has become one of the more prolific issuers of novelty bullion under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the island itself — but this piece takes the concept further by embedding actual soil or rock material purportedly sourced from Bethlehem within the capsule. The provenance chain for such inclusions is rarely documented to any rigorous standard, and no independent certification of the material's origin is typically provided by the issuer.

Struck by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue, whose GDP is smaller than most coin dealers' annual turnover.
