| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a bullion and commemorative coin program largely administered through the New Zealand Mint since the early 2000s, issuing legal tender under its own authority despite having a population under 2,000 and no independent monetary system. The KM#749 reference places this squarely in a period when the program was expanding aggressively into themed collector series.
Without confirmed details on the specific James Minor and Andrew series subject, the 100g .999 silver format was a common vehicle for multi-coin apostle or biblical figure sets issued by several Pacific sovereign issuers around this time — Niue among the most prolific.
