25 Dollars - Elizabeth II John F. Kennedy

Niue has long operated as a prolific issuer of commemorative coinage under New Zealand's currency umbrella, licensing its name to collector issues with no domestic circulation whatsoever. This piece is part of a wave of small-format gold commemoratives that flooded the collector market in the early 1990s, when numerous Pacific and Caribbean jurisdictions discovered that issuing licensed commemoratives was a reliable revenue stream requiring no actual monetary infrastructure.

Kennedy remains among the most commercially durable subjects in the commemorative coin trade, a status undiminished thirty years after his assassination when this was struck.
