| Reverse description | The central field features two silhouetted football players in dynamic action poses, flanking a detailed relief of the Eiffel Tower set against a large football rendered in frosted relief, evoking the Paris setting of the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament. A football rests at the base of the Eiffel Tower between the two players. Surrounding the central design is a broad colored ring displaying the national flags of all 24 participating nations arranged in sequence, applied in full color. The overall composition combines frosted and mirror-polished surfaces to create a striking contrast between the figural elements and the background field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's authority to issue legal tender coins is rooted in a 1981 agreement with New Zealand, which remains responsible for the island's defense and foreign affairs. The arrangement has made Niue one of the more prolific small-territory minting authorities in the modern commemorative market, licensing its name to dozens of sports and pop-culture issues annually with no meaningful domestic circulation.
The 2016 UEFA European Championship was held across ten French cities — the last major tournament before UEFA expanded the finals to 24 teams as a permanent format.
