Niue has become one of the more prolific licensors of fine art imagery on legal tender coinage, issuing collectible silver pieces under arrangements that have little to do with the island's 1,600-odd residents and everything to do with the global bullion collectibles market. This piece is part of a fifteen-coin series reproducing Klimt's 1907–08 oil painting, which itself was purchased by the Austrian government directly from the Kunstschau exhibition before it even left the walls — one of the few instances of a government acquiring a work on the spot out of what appeared to be genuine alarm at losing it.
