| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of the Divine Mercy image, depicting Jesus Christ in a frontal standing pose with his right hand raised in blessing and rays of white and red light emanating from his heart, based on the celebrated painting commissioned by Saint Faustina Kowalska and first executed in Vilnius in 1934. The image is framed within a gilt rectangular border set against a deep dark background, surmounted by a gilt decorative cross and scrolling foliate ornament at the top. The inscription DIVINE MERCY appears above the image in raised gilt lettering, with VILNIUS 1934 immediately below, referencing the historical origin of the painting. Elaborate gilt acanthus scrollwork embellishes the lower portion of the reverse field, echoing the decorative framework of the obverse. The overall composition combines fine color printing with selective gold gilding to create a devotional, icon-like presentation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Divine Mercy as a formal Catholic devotion was suppressed by the Vatican in 1959, deemed theologically irregular, then fully rehabilitated in 1978 — a reversal closely tied to Karol Wojtyła, who as Archbishop of Kraków had quietly protected its practice in Poland throughout the ban. His election as John Paul II that same year set the devotion on a path toward global canonization, culminating in the 2000 canonization of its originator, Sister Faustina Kowalska. Niue's numismatic program has long licensed religious and cultural themes as a revenue mechanism, given the island's population of roughly 1,600.
