Additional information

Niue has operated as a vehicle for third-party commemorative coin programs since the 1990s, with the New Zealand-administered territory lending its issuing authority to series marketed almost entirely outside its own population of roughly 1,600 people. This 22-of-24 piece belongs to a Polish-market devotional series centered on the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, the icon housed at Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa — a pilgrimage site that drew particular political weight during the Solidarity movement of the 1980s, when the monastery became a symbolic refuge from communist authority.

Collector interest in numbered sets like this one tracks heavily with completeness; single issues from mid-sequence routinely trade at a discount to the first and final pieces.
