| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for international collectors since the 1980s, leveraging a 1981 treaty arrangement with New Zealand that grants it full authority to issue legal tender while New Zealand dollars remain the actual circulating currency. The island's population hovers around 1,600, meaning virtually none of these pieces ever see domestic use — they are produced entirely for the numismatic export market.
The "coinbar" format — a struck ingot retaining legal tender status — gained traction after the Royal Canadian Mint popularized the form in the early 2010s. This example was issued in the first full year of Charles III's reign following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
