| Additional information |
Ilya Glazunov was one of the Soviet Union's most politically complicated artists — celebrated by the state for his monumental historical paintings while simultaneously maintaining deep Russian Orthodox and nationalist convictions that should have made him a dissident. He survived by being too famous to suppress. This coin was issued the year of his 80th birthday, two years before his death in 2017.
Niue's silver dollar program has been a vehicle for Russian cultural subjects since the early 2010s, almost certainly driven by Russian wholesale distributors rather than any particular interest from the Pacific island itself.
