Niue is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean. It is commonly known as the "Rock of Polynesia ", and inhabitants of the island call it "the Rock" for short. Though self-governing, Niue is in free association with New Zealand, and lacks full sovereignty. In 2003, Niue became the world's first "WiFi nation", in which free wireless Internet access is provided throughout the country by The Internet Users Society-Niue.

Niue, a dependency of New Zealand, uses the New Zealand dollar rather than its own specific currency. However, it does issue coins for the collectors market to earn some extra footing.

This is the list of the collector’s coins released by Niue. The coins are shown in the picture.

The images of the reverse of the official set are as follows:

5 CENTS: Two Humpback Whales

10 CENTS: Crab

20 CENTS: Scuba Divers

50 CENTS: Native Outrigger Canoe

1 DOLLAR: Swordfish, in 2010 – image of native plants.

What are the images that is all set to follow the these collector’s edition coins?

All coins of Niue depict on the obverse the national crest or an image of Queen Elizabeth II.
