| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty bullion since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while retaining the right to place virtually any image on legal tender. The arrangement has made the island's name familiar to collectors who will never locate it on a map without assistance.
This particular piece belongs to a wave of pop-culture bullion that accelerated sharply after the Royal Canadian Mint demonstrated in the mid-2000s that licensed entertainment properties could move two-ounce silver rounds at significant premiums over spot.
