| Additional information |
The Battle of France lasted just 46 days in May–June 1940, ending with an armistice that shocked Allied planners who had expected the Maginot Line and Anglo-French forces to hold indefinitely. The speed of the German breakthrough at Sedan — a gap in the line that Allied commanders had dismissed as impassable tank country — rendered the entire defensive strategy obsolete within a week.
Niue has long served as a licensing vehicle for commemorative gold issues that have no connection to the island itself, with the sovereign rights effectively leased to private minting programs.
