Niue – 2023 – 5 Dollars – Hunters in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel 500th ann.

Description

Niue presents a wondrous numismatic tribute to Pieter Bruegel
the Elder on the grand occasion of his 500th birth anniversary. The
enchanting essence of the artist’s renowned masterpiece, “The Hunters
in the Snow”, is encapsulated in a 70 mm silver collectible coin.
“The Hunters in the Snow” canvas, completed in 1565, is one of a six‑work
collection by Bruegel that depicts the seasons of the year from the
perspective of country folk. The antique finish of the coin did exceedingly
well in capturing the air of returning relief after a successful hunt.
This tranquil palette, printed digitally on the minted piece, revives the
old‑world charm of the painter’s era.
