背面描述 The reverse of this rectangular proof coin presents a dramatic high-relief depiction of Icarus, the figure from Greek mythology, shown as a muscular male nude in full stride with large feathered wings fully extended against a mirror-like field. In the background to the left, a large circular solar disc decorated with a Greek meander (key) border dominates the composition, evoking the mythological sun that melted Icarus's waxen wings. Several feathers are shown falling away from the wings, capturing the moment of his legendary downfall. The legend ICARUS is inscribed in bold serif capitals along the lower portion of the field, and the engraver's mark N appears at lower right.

附加信息

Niue has issued commemorative silver dollars under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, effectively functioning as a mint-for-hire jurisdiction whose actual currency needs are met by the New Zealand dollar. This Icarus piece is part of a broad thematic program that has little to do with Niuean monetary history and everything to do with the collector bullion market of the late 2000s. The irregular 40 x 28 mm dimensions indicate a shaped or oval flan — a format that gained commercial traction among Pacific island issuers around this period as a way to differentiate product in a crowded commemorative market.
