Silver Twenty-five Grams (25 g), Coin Type from Northern Mariana Islands - detailed information

The Northern Mariana Islands is an island country in the western Pacific, in free association with the United States. In one way or another, the country has been under US administration since it was established, and has never had its own separate currency - it has always used the US Dollar. However, it allows some foreign mints to issue coins under its authority; these are denominated in US Dollars but are only legal tender in the Marianas, so can in a way be considered to be in "Northern Mariana Islands Dollars", even though such a currency does not officially exist.

The coins are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Some of them are in standard bullion sizes, but some of the silver $5 (five dollars) - such as those listed below - are not; their weight is more than a half ounce but less than one ounce, and is "metric" - 25 grams of silver.
