| Additional information |
The "Gates of Paradise" title refers specifically to Lorenzo Ghiberti's gilded bronze doors on the Florence Baptistery, completed in 1452 after roughly 27 years of work. The name itself was reputedly coined by Michelangelo, though that attribution has been disputed by art historians for decades. Niue has functioned as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint's high-relief collector programs since the early 2000s, its sovereign status providing the legal authority to issue currency while contributing essentially nothing to the coin's conception or production.
