2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Money Frog

Niue has operated as a treaty-based currency union with New Zealand since 1901, giving it the unusual authority to issue its own legal tender despite a population that has never exceeded 2,000. That arrangement has been aggressively exploited since the 1990s to produce collector-targeted silver rounds with nominal face values bearing no relationship to bullion or circulation reality. The "Money Frog" belongs to a wave of Chinese cultural motif issues minted for the Asian collector and gift market, where the three-legged toad — Jin Chan — is a fixture of feng shui commerce.
