| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II - 2014 - NIUE ISLAND 10 Dollars |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | High-relief three-dimensional sculptural rendering of Michelangelo's celebrated marble statue of David, depicted standing in contrapposto pose on a naturalistic base with a tree stump support at the right leg. The figure is shown full-length, nude, with his right hand lowered and his left hand raised holding a sling stone, and his head turned slightly to the left in a posture of focused anticipation. The inscription 'MICHELANGELO' runs vertically along the left side of the rectangular field, and 'David' is inscribed vertically along the right side. The background field is plain and polished, accentuating the finely detailed sculptural relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to Niue's ongoing practice of licensing its sovereign coinage authority to private mints and bullion dealers — a revenue arrangement that has little to do with the island's 1,600-odd residents and everything to do with the collector market. Niue's coinage rights derive from its free association with New Zealand, which handles its defense and foreign affairs but leaves fiscal creativity largely unchecked.
The "David" designation almost certainly refers to Michelangelo's statue, a subject that has appeared across multiple numismatic programs from various Pacific island issuers competing for the same collector dollar. Two troy ounces of .999 silver is the standard bullion vehicle for this market tier.
