| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Stanisław Wyspiański's 1904 self-portrait with his wife Teodora, rendered in the artist's characteristic Polish Secessionist style. The two figures are depicted in bust form against a deep blue background: the woman at left wears a red headscarf and traditional folk costume adorned with coral bead necklaces, while the bearded artist appears at right in a dark fur-trimmed coat. The vertical inscription STANISŁAW WYSPIAŃSKI is lettered along the right rim in the field. |

| Additional information |
Wyspiański died in 1907 at thirty-eight, having compressed an extraordinary output of painting, poetry, and theatrical writing into barely a decade of serious work. This coin belongs to Niue's long-running series of Polish cultural figures issued under licensing arrangements that funnel collector revenue back through the Polish mint — a common mechanism for small Pacific sovereigns with no meaningful domestic coin circulation of their own.
