2 Dollars - Elizabeth II PAC-MAN

Niue has long operated as one of the more commercially aggressive issuers in the commemorative bullion market, licensing pop-culture intellectual property through the New Zealand Mint to generate revenue for a Pacific island nation with a population under 2,000. This particular release is part of a broader Bandai Namco-licensed program. PAC-MAN itself debuted in Japanese arcades in May 1980, becoming the highest-grossing arcade game in history within two years and the first game to achieve genuine mainstream crossover outside the dedicated gaming demographic.

Mintage on colored novelty issues from this program is typically capped in the low thousands.
