| Additional information |
Andrei Rublev painted the Trinity icon — formally titled *The Hospitality of Abraham* — around 1411, commissioned for the Trinity Cathedral at the Sergiev Posad monastery north of Moscow. It became the most venerated panel painting in the Russian Orthodox tradition, and was at the center of a prolonged dispute between the Soviet state and the Church after it was seized and placed in the Tretyakov Gallery in 1929. Russian Orthodox authorities sought its return for decades.
Niue's silver bullion program has issued dozens of religiously themed pieces under New Zealand's monetary umbrella, this being one of several targeting the Russian Orthodox collector market specifically.
