Niue has long operated as a licensing vehicle for third-party coin programs, and this piece is squarely in that tradition — a New Zealand-administered Pacific territory of roughly 1,500 people generating revenue through numismatic and bullion issues bearing the Elizabeth II effigy. Forsberg won five Hart Trophies and six Stanley Cups across his NHL career, numbers that made him an obvious subject for this kind of athlete-themed bullion series.
Issued in 2022, it postdates Forsberg's 2021 Hockey Hall of Fame induction by one year.
