| Opschrift voorzijde | ELIZABETH II · NIUE · FIVE DOLLARS · 2013 · 80 g 999 FINE SILVER |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Rectangular flan featuring a colorized reproduction of a detail from Michelangelo's celebrated Sistine Chapel fresco The Creation of Adam (circa 1508–1512), depicting the iconic moment in which the divine and human hands approach one another across a vast expanse of sky. The composition faithfully renders the soft azure and cerulean tones of the heavenly background, with a rocky foreground element visible at lower right. The image is rendered across the full surface of the rectangular planchet in a painterly, high-fidelity color application, constituting the first panel in a twelve-part series dedicated to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel masterwork. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of a twelve-coin series reproducing Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling in sectional format, this issue was produced for Niue by the New Zealand Mint under a licensing arrangement that has become one of the more commercially active arms of Niuean commemorative coinage. The ceiling itself took Michelangelo four years to complete, from 1508 to 1512, working largely alone despite Pope Julius II's repeated demands for an accelerated schedule.
The series was engineered so that all twelve coins tile together into a single composite image — a format borrowed from earlier European collector issues but executed here at a scale and silver weight that made completing the set a significant financial commitment.
