| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed aerial-perspective relief depiction of the PGE Arena stadium in Gdansk (now known as Polsat Plus Arena Gdansk), constructed for the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship, dominates the field. A partial map of Poland with cloud formations is visible above the stadium in the upper field. Below the stadium, the heraldic coat of arms of the city of Gdansk is prominently displayed, featuring two lions flanking a crowned shield charged with two crosses, with the motto 'NEC TIMIDE NEC TEMERE' inscribed on the base of the cartouche. The legend 'GDANSK' appears to the lower left and '2012' to the lower right, separated by the coat of arms. |

This piece belongs to a Polish historical cities series issued by Niue — a sovereign Pacific microstate that has licensed its coinage authority extensively since the 1990s, producing commemoratives almost entirely for the collector export market. The coins have no circulation function whatsoever in Niue itself.
Gdańsk's selection reflects its outsized role in 20th-century history: the Free City of Danzig, contested between Germany and Poland after Versailles, was the precise flashpoint where the Second World War began on 1 September 1939, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the Polish garrison at Westerplatte.
