Niue has operated as a vehicle for the New Zealand-backed commemorative coin program since the 1990s, licensing its issuing authority to a rotating cast of European minting houses targeting the collector market. This piece is part of that structure — a legal tender instrument of a self-governing island of roughly 1,500 people that will never see the coin in circulation.
KM#4926 has no documented mintage cap in major references at time of cataloging. Worth noting for inventory purposes.
