Niue has operated a licensed coinage program since the 1990s, issuing collector pieces under its sovereign authority while generating revenue for a Pacific island nation with a population under 2,000. This piece falls within Disney's long-running agreements with third-party mints and sovereign issuers to produce legal-tender collectibles — a commercial arrangement that has little to do with monetary policy and everything to do with intellectual property licensing fees.
The Jungle Book source material traces to Rudyard Kipling's 1894 collection, though the characters here reference the 1967 animated film rather than the original stories.
