| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of a detail from Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting 'The Census at Bethlehem' (1566), applied to the square silver field. The scene depicts a snow-covered Flemish village landscape in winter, with bare trees dominating the right foreground, a frozen river or open ground populated by small figures in the middle distance, and a cluster of buildings including a church visible toward the upper left. The colorization is faithful to the original oil painting's muted, wintry palette of blues, ochres, and earth tones. This coin forms the third panel in a six-part series reproducing the complete composition of Bruegel's masterwork. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a six-coin series issued by Niue reproducing details from Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1566 painting The Census at Bethlehem, held at the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Bruegel set the Biblical scene in a Flemish winter village — a deliberate displacement that made the Nativity story legible to sixteenth-century Netherlandish audiences living under Habsburg rule.
Niue has become a preferred issuing authority for this type of licensed fine-art numismatic series, its treaty relationship with New Zealand providing the legal framework for Elizabeth II's effigy on the obverse while the actual production and distribution runs through European minting houses.
