| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely sculpted high-relief representation of the Angel of Independence, modeled after the celebrated statue atop the Column of Independence in Mexico City. The winged female figure is depicted in a dynamic striding pose, her robes flowing dramatically behind her; her right arm is raised aloft holding a laurel wreath, while her left hand extends outward grasping a broken chain. Large, elaborately feathered wings spread wide to either side, filling the shaped planchet. The entire composition is rendered in deep sculptural relief with an antiqued finish that accentuates the fine surface detail of the drapery, musculature, and feathering. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and commemorative licensing hub since the 1990s, leasing its sovereign issuing authority to external minting programs — primarily European producers — while remaining a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. The arrangement is entirely legal under international numismatic convention, though it means most "Niue" coins have no meaningful circulation history on the island itself, whose population hovers around 1,500.
This piece belongs to the Angel of Independence series commemorating Mexico's iconic monument on Paseo de la Reforma, erected in 1910 to mark the centennial of Mexican independence.
