| Reverse description | A richly colored scene depicting the Fourteenth Station of the Cross — the entombment of Christ. The body of Jesus, wrapped in a white burial shroud, is tenderly lowered onto a stone slab by several mourning figures in a garden setting. A grieving woman kneels at His feet while others, including disciples and holy women, gather around in sorrow beneath a canopy of flowering trees. The crown of thorns rests in the foreground. The Roman numeral XIV appears in a rectangular cartouche at the base of the composition. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long licensed its sovereign coinage authority to private minting operations — primarily the New Zealand Mint — producing devotional and collector series with no connection to the island's domestic economy. This piece belongs to the Stations of the Cross series, one of several religiously themed programs issued under Niue's name for the Catholic collector market.
The fourteenth station marks the entombment of Christ, the final moment in the traditional Via Crucis sequence.
