Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Peter the Great, the Russian tsar who ruled from 1682 to 1725, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a unique feature as most coins issued by Niue, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, typically feature images of local wildlife or cultural icons. The inclusion of Peter the Great on this coin highlights the historical and cultural ties between Russia and Niue, making it a fascinating collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
