Additional information

Amun-Ra, the merged solar deity of the Egyptian pantheon, became the dominant god of the New Kingdom after the pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty credited him with their military victories — most notably Thutmose III's campaigns into the Levant. Niue has issued commemorative silver under its Elizabeth II coinage authority since the 1990s, leveraging a Crown dependency arrangement with New Zealand that allows the island's name on legal tender it neither designs nor distributes domestically.

The KM#3863 reference places this within a broader Polish-minted antiquities series, almost certainly struck at the Mennica Polska facility in Warsaw, which has produced the majority of Niue's high-relief collector issues.
