| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents the front face of a Stradivarius violin depicted in full, rendered with a coloured wood inlay that captures the characteristic amber-brown varnish and f-holes of the instrument; the neck and pegbox with tuning pegs extend toward the upper apex of the rhombus-shaped flan. The legend 'ANTONIO' is inscribed diagonally along the left field and 'STRADIVARI' along the right field, flanking the violin. The birth and death years '1644' and '1737' appear in the lower field to either side of the instrument's body, commemorating the celebrated Cremonese luthier. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The wood inlay on this piece comes from an authenticated fragment of a Stradivarius instrument — a claim that requires some unpacking. Cremona-workshop instruments attributed to Antonio Stradivari number in the hundreds, with ownership and provenance chains varying wildly in reliability. Niue's numismatic program, administered through a New Zealand licensing arrangement, sourced the material through a European dealer specializing in instrument relics. Whether the fragment originates from a bench offcut, a damaged instrument, or a restoration remnant is not specified in the mint's documentation — a distinction that matters considerably to the story being sold.
