| Additional information |
Part of a twelve-coin series issued by Niue reproducing Raphael's Sistine Madonna in segmented form, this piece is one of the final installments — meaning collectors who entered the series late faced the familiar secondary-market scramble that plagues sequenced limited issues when early numbers have already dispersed.
Niue's coin program, administered through the New Zealand Reserve Bank arrangement, has issued hundreds of themed collector series since the 1990s. The 80g format places this squarely in the heavier end of commemorative silver issues designed primarily for display rather than handling.
