| Additional information |
The Infant Jesus of Prague is a 16th-century wax-coated wooden statue housed in the Church of Our Lady Victorious in Malá Strana, brought to Bohemia from Spain by Polyxena of Lobkowicz in 1628. Its veneration spread rapidly through Catholic Europe during the Thirty Years' War, when Carmelite friars credited military outcomes to its intercession. Niue has become one of the more prolific issuers of high-karat commemorative gold on behalf of devotional and religious subjects, operating under a licensing model that generates revenue entirely divorced from domestic circulation needs — the island's population sits under 2,000.
