50 Dollars - Elizabeth II Amelia Earhart

Niue has been issuing gold commemoratives under licensing agreements with foreign bullion dealers since the 1990s, effectively functioning as a mint-for-hire territory whose coin program bears little relation to its actual economy or monetary needs. This Earhart piece is part of that machinery. Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific in July 1937 during her attempted circumnavigation, and the wreckage of her Lockheed Electra 10E has never been conclusively located despite multiple funded search expeditions, most recently by the TIGHAR organization.
