Information about legend: QUEEN ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND

This legend is displayed on coinage of Niue. Niue is a small Pacific nation in free association with New Zealand since 1974. The Niue Constitution Act of 1974 vests executive authority in Her Majesty the Queen in Right of New Zealand and in the Governor-General of New Zealand.

It is only used by a small number of mints. On most coins, the legend is ELIZABETH II NIUE (without the word QUEEN). There is also another form of the legend, ELIZABETH II NIUE (without ISLAND either).
