| Reverse description | The reverse of this proof pattern specimen is a plain, unadorned field with a smooth, polished gold-plated surface. Centered in the field, the word 'PROBA' is inscribed in capital Latin letters, indicating the piece's status as a trial or sample strike, accompanied directly below by the Chinese characters '样品' conveying the same meaning. The overall appearance is intentionally minimalist, consistent with standard practice for pattern and sample coins submitted for approval or archival purposes. |

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for commemorative issues since the early 2000s, with New Zealand managing its currency arrangements under the Realm of New Zealand compact. The island's actual population sits below 2,000, making it one of the smallest sovereign issuers in the world — a fact entirely disconnected from the volume of coins struck in its name.
The "Legend of Chu" series draws on the Warring States period of Chinese history, roughly 475–221 BC, when the state of Chu dominated much of the Yangtze River basin before its eventual conquest by Qin.
