| Additional information |
Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo — known colloquially in Venice as "San Zanipolo" — is the burial site of 25 doges and functioned as the Venetian state's principal funeral church from the 14th century onward. Niue's series of fine gold issues commemorating Venetian sites draws on the island nation's long-established practice of licensing its coinage authority to European mints producing collector-market bullion and numismatic pieces, a revenue model that has nothing to do with Niuean monetary history and everything to do with the global commemorative coin trade.
