| Additional information |
Niue's gold commemorative program of the late 1980s was essentially a licensing operation — the island nation of roughly 1,700 people had negligible domestic demand for $200 gold coins and issued them almost entirely for the international collector market. MacArthur was a reliable seller in that market, particularly in the United States and Japan, the two countries most directly shaped by his postwar command.
KM#42 corresponds to a mintage authorized well below 1,000 pieces, consistent with Niue's practice of keeping commemorative runs tight to sustain secondary market premiums.
