| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene inspired by Jules Verne's novel 'From the Earth to the Moon', featuring the Columbiad space cannon projectile at the moment of launch, rising from an ornate domed cannon breech amid billowing clouds of smoke and flame rendered in high relief. Above the capsule, a celestial field populated with numerous star motifs in various sizes fills the upper portion of the design, with a stylized moon visible at the apex. The composition employs a striking contrast between frosted relief elements and deeply mirrored polished fields, lending a vivid three-dimensional quality. The inscription COLUMBIAD is engraved in bold relief letters along the lower margin of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Columbiad was Jules Verne's fictional giant cannon in his 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon — a cast-iron behemoth buried in the Florida soil and used to launch a projectile manned by three passengers toward the lunar surface. Verne calculated its specifications with genuine ballistic mathematics, and NASA engineers have acknowledged the novel's uncanny accuracy in predicting a Florida launch site and a splashdown recovery. Niue has built a substantial collector program around science fiction and literary themes, licensing designs that larger sovereign mints would not touch.
