| Additional information |
Notre-Dame de Paris had been burning for less than fourteen months when this coin was issued — the April 2019 fire destroyed the spire and most of the roof before crews managed to save the twin towers and the rose windows. Niue's arrangement with the Polish mint operator Mennica Polska accounts for the bulk of these themed European-landmark silver issues; the island's revenue comes from the licensing agreement, not from any organic connection to the subject matter.
