Part of a 24-coin series issued by Niue through the New Zealand Mint commemorating Dante's Divina Commedia, this release falls within an aggressive expansion of the Pacific island nation's numismatic program that began around 2010. Niue's legal tender arrangements with New Zealand allow it to issue collector coinage at a scale wildly disproportionate to its roughly 1,600 inhabitants.
KM#1004 places this piece early in the reference sequence for the series, though collector demand has historically clustered around the opening and closing issues of the set.
