In June 2001 King Virendra, shown on our image of a gold asarfi, and many of its royal family were killed by Prince Dipendra who also fatally shot himself. King Gyanendra was crowned days later.

New Zealand New Zealand has only issued its own coinage since 1933, before which it officially used British coins. Many of its coins show its unusual native flora and fauna.
Niue Niue, also known as Savage Island, is an island in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Tonga. It was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1774. Its remoteness, as well as cultural and linguistic differences between its Polynesian inhabitants and those of the rest of the Cook Islands, have caused it to be separately administered since 1922. The population of the island continues to drop (from a peak of 5,200 in 1966 to about 2,100 in 2004), with substantial emigration to New Zealand, 2,400 km to the southwest. It is a dependent state of New Zealand. Niue's own coins were first issued in 1987.
North Korea Recorded history shows Korea as three kingdoms from 57 BC to 935 AD. At the end of the second world war, the USA entered Korea from the south, USSR from the North. North Korea, under Russian influence, proclaimed itself as a Democratic People's Republic on August 25th 1948. Its capital is Pyongyang. North Korea issued its first coins in 1959 with 100 chon equal to 1 won. We show a 500 Won of 1988.

Since the 13th century, it has been politically associated with Sweden and Denmark, but has been independent since 1905. Norway is not currently part of the EU.
