| Additional information |
The Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier was interred at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on 11 November 1993, the remains brought from a World War I battlefield cemetery at Villers-Bretonneux in France. Niue has a long-standing arrangement to produce legal-tender commemorative issues denominated in New Zealand dollars, a fiscal convenience that places this piece firmly in the novelty collector market rather than in any circulation reality.
At 110 grams and 65 millimeters, this is a presentation piece built for display, not handling.
