25 Dollars - Elizabeth II Dragon

Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, licensing its sovereignty to the New Zealand-based Coin Invest Trust, which produces the majority of these dragon-series pieces. The arrangement is straightforward: Niue provides the legal tender framework, CIT handles design and distribution, and the coins are struck at the B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt facility in Munich.

The 2016 dragon issue belongs to a competitive segment of the fractional gold market where buyer decisions turn almost entirely on secondary-market liquidity and series continuity rather than numismatic depth.
