2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Sergey Lifar

Sergey Lifar left Soviet Ukraine in 1923 as part of a group of young dancers recruited by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes, never returning to his homeland. He went on to dominate French ballet for decades as director of the Paris Opéra Ballet — a tenure interrupted only by postwar accusations of collaboration with the Nazi occupation, of which he was ultimately cleared. Niue's silver program in this period licensed a broad roster of cultural figures, most with no connection to the island territory itself.
