| Beschrijving keerzijde | Rectangular plaquette featuring a richly detailed relief reproducing an illustration inspired by Gustave Doré's engravings for Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The composition depicts dramatically rendered figures — a winged entity in dynamic motion in the upper register and a crouching or kneeling figure in the lower right — set against a deeply striated, textured background evoking the tormented landscapes of the Inferno. The sculptural treatment employs fine cross-hatched line work in the manner of classical engraving, rendered in warm antique gilded toning. The overall design reflects the final canto of the series, serving as the concluding piece of the 24-part commemorative set. |

The twenty-fourth coin closes a series commissioned by the Polish mint (Mennica Polska) for Niue — one of several Pacific island jurisdictions whose legal tender framework makes it a convenient issuer for European collector programs. The Divine Comedy series tracked Dante's three canticles across its run, with this final piece corresponding to the concluding canto of the Paradiso, first completed around 1320, the year before Dante died in Ravenna.
