| Additional information |
Niue began issuing gold and silver commemoratives in the mid-1980s as a straightforward revenue exercise — the coins were never intended for domestic circulation on an island with a population under 2,000. This piece, released at the height of Graf's dominance, predates her 1988 Golden Slam by a year, making it an unusually early institutional acknowledgment of a career still in ascent.
