| Reverse description | A detailed three-quarter perspective view of Bratislava Castle occupies the central field, depicted in fine relief with its characteristic rectangular body, four corner towers, and fortified walls atop a rocky promontory, with stylized water rendered in the foreground exergue. The design is executed with architectural precision, contrasting frosted surfaces against a polished background. The circular legend around the upper portion reads BRATISLAVSKÝ HRAD in Slovak, while the lower arc bears the English equivalent BRATISLAVA CASTLE, with an engraver's monogram visible in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for themed collector silver since the early 2000s, issuing coins under New Zealand's Crown dependency framework that have no meaningful circulation function. This particular piece belongs to a sprawling series of Central European castle and landmark issues marketed primarily to Czech and Slovak collector markets — Bratislava Castle having served as the seat of the Hungarian Kingdom's administration for nearly three centuries after the Ottoman occupation of Buda in 1541.
