Additional information

Niue's prolific use of its Cook Islands Monetary Agreement rights has made it one of the most active commemorative issuers in the Pacific, contracting almost entirely with the Perth Mint and Polish minting houses for production. This piece is the final entry in a 24-coin series devoted to Marian iconography — a format that found its primary retail market in Catholic Poland, where the Black Madonna of Częstochowa at Jasna Góra has been a national religious symbol since at least the Swedish invasions of the 1650s, when the monastery's defense became foundational to Polish identity.

Completing a 24-piece run is the commercial milestone that drives secondary market premiums on terminal issues.
