Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed specifically for the European market. The portrait was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and shows the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace, with a more relaxed and friendly expression compared to other depictions of her. This design was used on several other coins issued by Niue in 2016, but the silver $1 coin is particularly notable for its high purity and limited mintage.
