| Additional information |
The Czech Lion series, struck at the Czech Mint in Jablonec nad Nisou, became one of the more commercially successful bullion programs to emerge from Central Europe in the 2010s — an unusual arrangement in which a Czech private mint produces legal tender coinage under a Pacific island issuing authority. The 0.5g fractional format targets collector-investors priced out of larger gold issues, a market segment that expanded sharply after 2015 as spot prices climbed.
KM#3426 is one of several fractional denominations in the annual series. The Czech Mint has held the arrangement with Niue continuously, with each year's lion design carrying subtle modifications.
