| Additional information |
Niue has issued collector silver under its own authority since the 1990s, leveraging a 1981 treaty arrangement with New Zealand that permits independent coinage while the Cook Islands-adjacent territory maintains no meaningful domestic currency circulation. The Boznańska issue belongs to a Polish-themed series commissioned in cooperation with the Polish Mint in Warsaw, which produced the dies and managed distribution — Niue contributing little beyond its legal issuing framework.
Olga Boznańska (1865–1940) spent most of her career in Paris and Munich, exhibiting at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and receiving the Legion of Honour in 1912.
