The legend YEAR OF THE TIGER curves along the left and lower periphery in raised lettering, while the date 2022 appears in gold-toned numerals at the lower right of the field. |

Niue has functioned as a prolific licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint since the 1990s, issuing commemorative coinage under its name with no expectation of domestic circulation. This Tiger piece is part of a recurring lunar series, one of dozens of similar issues produced annually for the collector market across multiple Pacific island jurisdictions.
KM#4752 sees relatively thin secondary-market activity compared to equivalent issues from the Perth Mint's own lunar program, which carries stronger brand recognition among bullion collectors.
