| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a highly detailed architectural rendering of the facade of 221B Baker Street, the fictional London residence of Sherlock Holmes, with the iconic black door bearing the number 221B prominently centered within a circular cartouche framed by columns and arched windows. Above the facade, the Public Seal of Niue is displayed in high relief, flanked by two ornate dragons and decorative drapery in a symmetrical composition. The legend 'PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE / ATUA / NIUE TUKULAGI' appears within and around the seal. A chequered tiled step leads to the doorway, evoking Victorian London streetscape detail. Along the lower rim, a ribbon cartouche bears the inscriptions '15 DOLLARS NIUE 2024 200g Ag999' in incuse lettering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has become one of the Pacific's most prolific license-holders for themed bullion issues, and this piece fits squarely in that commercial niche. The "A Study in Scarlet" title references Conan Doyle's 1887 novella — the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes in print, published in Beeton's Christmas Annual at a cover price of one shilling.
The New Zealand Mint strikes Niue's collector issues under a long-standing arrangement with the island government, which retains nominal issuing authority while bearing none of the production costs.
