| Additional information |
The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood at the entrance to the harbor of Rhodes for roughly 54 years before an earthquake toppled it around 226 BC. Ancient accounts by Pliny the Elder describe the fallen statue lying in pieces for nearly nine centuries — the Rhodians reportedly refused to move it after an oracle warned against rebuilding. Niue has issued bullion and commemorative gold under licensing agreements for decades, functioning effectively as a sovereign mint-proxy for New Zealand-aligned Pacific coinage programs.
