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 and collector coins under the authority of Niue. One of them is the Czech Mint, which uses not only standard bullion sizes but also some formats based on the Czech Gold Ducat, including 100 Ducats weighing a massive 348.5 grams. The coins are "Non-Circulating Legal Tender" (NCLT) and not bullion because they are issued at prices much higher than their bullion value and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic or sentimental value, and not at bullion investors. The Mint says about this coin: Svatopluk then succeeded him on the Great Moravian throne and promised the Franks obedience, but the Frankish king, who did not want to share power, betrayed and imprisoned him. At that time, an uprising broke out in Moravia, and the Franks put Svatopluk at the head of the army that was supposed to suppress it, because he knew the country and its fortifications. However, as Svatopluk returned home, he sided with the Moravians and crushed the Frankish army. He ruled the Great Moravian Empire for the next 23 years - he repaired relations with the Franks, won the flavor of the pope and subjugated the surrounding nations. Unfortunately, Svatopluk's sons, who seized power after their father's death in 894, did not proceed with their father's successes. Great Moravia collapsed in 907. | ||||||
