Niue is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometers (1,500 mi) northeast of New Zealand. Niue's land area is about 261 square kilometers (101 sq mi) and its population, predominantly Polynesian, was about 1,600 in 2016.
Niue is located in a triangle between Tonga, Samoa, and the Cook Islands. It is 604 kilometers northeast of Tonga. The island is commonly referred to as "The Rock", which comes from the traditional name "Rock of Polynesia".
The lion is depicted in front-facing relief with a crown on its head. The rim of the crown on its head has an inscription of "Send Out Your Light and Your Truth", with the Hebrew letters of Aleph and Tav inscribed on the face of the crown.
On the obverse side of 2021 1 oz Niue Roaring Lion Head Silver Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majestys bust is found in right-profile relief on this side of the coin with a background field of radiating lines. The Queen is shown here in the popular 1998 design from Ian Rank-Broadley that includes the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head.
Niue is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, and New Zealand conducts most diplomatic relations on its behalf. As part of the Realm of New Zealand, Niueans are citizens of New Zealand and Queen Elizabeth II is Niue's head of state in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand. Between 90% and 95% of Niuean people live in New Zealand, along with about 70% of the speakers of the Niuean language. Niue is a bilingual country, with 30% of the population speaking both Niuean and English. The percentage of monolingual English-speaking people is only 11%, while 46% are monolingual Niuean speakers.
