Interesting fact
The Tasmanian Tiger coin from Niue is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a design of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger (also known as the Thylacine) on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. The coin is made of gold-plated nickel and weighs 38 grams. It was minted in 2011 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and enthusiasts. This coin is a great way to learn about and commemorate the history and culture of Niue, as well as the natural history of the Tasmanian Tiger.
