8 Dollars - Elizabeth II Year of the Goat

Niue's relationship with the Chinese lunar series is purely commercial — the island nation of roughly 1,600 people has issued collector coins under licensing arrangements for decades, with revenue flowing to the New Zealand-administered territory's government. The 2015 Goat issue falls within a well-documented run of five-ounce bullion-adjacent pieces targeted squarely at the Asian collector market, where Year of the Goat pieces from this cycle were produced in significant volume across multiple mints and issuers simultaneously.
