Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed bullion since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory to issue legal tender struck at foreign mints — this piece being among dozens of pop-culture and fairy tale issues released under that arrangement. The Puss in Boots character derives from Perrault's 1697 tale Le Maître Chat, though the coin almost certainly targets the DreamWorks animated franchise rather than the literary source.
KM#4200 is one reference in a long run of one-ounce .999 silver issues from Niue, virtually all sharing the same physical specification regardless of theme.
