| Beschrijving keerzijde | Detailed high-relief depiction of the Nativity scene, portraying the Virgin Mary kneeling beside the infant Jesus lying in a manger, accompanied by Joseph and attended by the Three Magi bearing gifts. An eight-pointed Star of Bethlehem shines in the upper right field above an architectural backdrop. A circular capsule containing fragments of genuine Bethlehem land or rock is inset into the lower central field of the design, integrating a relic element into the composition. The inscription 'Bethlehem' appears in stylised lettering along the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has become one of the more prolific issuers of novelty bullion under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the island itself — but this piece takes the concept further by embedding actual soil or rock material purportedly sourced from Bethlehem within the capsule. The provenance chain for such inclusions is rarely documented to any rigorous standard, and no independent certification of the material's origin is typically provided by the issuer.
Struck by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue, whose GDP is smaller than most coin dealers' annual turnover.
