5 Dollars - Charles III Golden Eagle

Niue has functioned as a licensing jurisdiction for collector coinage since the 1990s, with the New Zealand dependency lending its sovereign authority to dozens of annual issues while retaining no practical monetary relationship with the pieces themselves. This particular coin is part of the New Zealand Mint's ongoing Golden Eagle bullion-adjacent series, which shifted its royal portrait obligation to Charles III following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022 — a transition that affected the obverse authority of every Commonwealth-licensed collector issue simultaneously.
