| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, leveraging its monetary agreement with New Zealand to produce legal tender silver rounds marketed almost entirely to international collectors rather than domestic circulation. The "Moana" issue sits within a wave of Pacific-themed releases that flooded the market during this period, competing directly with similar programs from Palau, Fiji, and the Cook Islands.
KM#1461 is a collector piece with negligible circulation history by design.
