| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a licensing hub for pop-culture coin programs, using its status as a New Zealand realm territory to issue legal tender with none of the constraints facing larger sovereign mints. This piece is part of a DC Comics character series, a commercial arrangement that has produced dozens of issues across multiple mints with collector demand driven almost entirely by the licensed IP rather than numismatic factors.
KM#4945 is one of several Shazam-themed Niue issues cataloged in this period — worth distinguishing from adjacent numbers in the same run before purchasing multiples.
