Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Viktor Tsoi, a Soviet singer-songwriter and poet, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a unique feature, as most coins with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse are issued by countries that are members of the Commonwealth, whereas Niue is not a member of the Commonwealth. This coin was issued as a tribute to Viktor Tsoi's contributions to music and poetry, and it is a rare example of a coin that combines the image of a historical figure from the Soviet Union with the image of a British monarch.
