250 Dollars - Charles III Aerosmith

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint since the early 2000s, issuing gold and silver commemoratives under its sovereign authority while collecting modest royalties that constitute a meaningful share of the island's revenue. This piece is one of several music-themed issues produced under that arrangement, using the band's 50th anniversary as the commercial hook.

Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring in 2023 after Joey Kramer's long absence and Steven Tyler's vocal cord surgery.
