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.
This coin note (foil) is dedicated to the 80th Anniversary of Batman.
The legendary comic character Batman first appeared in March 1939 in the magazine "Detective Comics" (Issue 27). |
