5 Dollars The Kiss by Gustav Klimt (11 of 15)

Niue became a favored issuer for high-end collector pieces because its status as a New Zealand realm territory gives it legitimate coinage authority while imposing almost no constraints on design or format — a arrangement that suits European fine-art licensing deals particularly well. The Klimt series of which this is part commissioned reproductions of works from the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, which holds the original 1907–08 oil-and-gold-leaf canvas.

The 70g fabric places this squarely in the larger-format art coin category that Austrian Mint and its competitors were aggressively developing through the mid-2010s. Mintage for the series was capped at 999 pieces per issue.
