Niue has operated as a prolific licensing platform for commemorative silver since the 1990s, issuing coins under its authority while having virtually no domestic coin-using economy of its own.

KM#7394 is a recent addition to the Royal Canadian Mint's "Coco: Remember Me" series, tied to the animated film franchise. Two troy ounces of .999 silver, entirely collector-market in destination — never touched a cash register.
