Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes. A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative, bullion and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Some coins are marketed in standard bullion sizes, like half ounce silver, one ounce silver etc, and some of those are also denominated as $1, for which see respective lists. This coin, denominated as One Niue Dollar, is not in a standard ounce-based size and is made using a "smartminting" technique - meaning that it has features not generally found in circulation coins. The Mint says about this coin: The British Shorthair is the largest of all short-haired cats. They are perfect domestic cats recognized by their incredible intelligence and gentle character. This breed descends from the cats brought to the British Isles by the Roman legions. The cats were to be used to provide protection against pests consuming legionnaires' food supplies. After World War II, the existence of the breed was threatened. Therefore, in the 1950s, breeders decided to cross the British Shorthair with the Blue Persian Cat reinforcing the population and improving the features of the breed" Decoration: digital printing, crystals. | ||||||
