Additional information

Niue has functioned as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint's themed collector series since the 1990s, its status as a New Zealand realm territory providing legal tender standing without any pretense of domestic circulation. This piece belongs to a wave of crystal-inlay issues that emerged from several mints in the 2010s and 2020s, where Swarovski or similar elements are pressure-set into recessed die cavities after striking — a finishing step that disqualifies most examples from standard encapsulation by the major grading services.

The Ascension narrative dates its commemoration to forty days after Easter in Christian tradition, fixed liturgically since at least the fourth century.
