| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed silver-relief depiction of a Greater Mouse-Eared Bat (Myotis myotis) in full flight, wings spread wide, occupying the central field of the coin. Above the flying bat, a colorized scene rendered in naturalistic earth tones depicts two additional bats hanging upside down within a rocky cave interior, creating a vivid sense of habitat and depth. The scientific name MYOTIS MYOTIS and the Czech common name NETOPÝR VELKÝ are inscribed along the left arc of the coin in raised Latin lettering. The composition is rendered in a combination of polished proof surfaces and colored printing, with the relief bat contrasting dramatically against the dark background. The overall design is the work of artist Majka Wichnerová. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has issued wildlife-themed bullion and collector coinage under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, effectively functioning as a revenue-generating vehicle for a Pacific microstate whose own monetary needs are met entirely by the New Zealand dollar. This bat series falls squarely into that category — collectible product rather than circulating currency, produced for a international numismatic market with no meaningful domestic use.
The Greater Mouse-Eared Bat (*Myotis myoti*) is native to Europe and was declared extinct in Britain in 1990 after the last known colony collapsed.
