7 Dollars - Elizabeth II Epidaurus

Niue has become one of the more prolific licensing jurisdictions in modern numismatics, issuing collector coins under its currency authority while maintaining virtually no independent monetary infrastructure of its own — the New Zealand dollar circulates in practice. This piece belongs to a wave of high-relief, large-format silver issues produced in the 2010s by European mints on behalf of Pacific island territories, with the Epidaurus series specifically drawing on UNESCO World Heritage Site designation to anchor its subject matter.

The Theatre of Epidaurus, built in the 4th century BC and attributed to Polykleitos the Younger, is notable for an acoustics problem that still lacks a fully agreed scientific explanation.
