| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic aviation scene commemorating the return of Czechoslovak airmen to their homeland after World War II. In the upper field, a formation of three Spitfire fighter aircraft flies in echelon against a mirror-polished sky, with the silhouette of Prague Castle visible on the horizon to the right. The lower field shows a line of Spitfires parked on an airfield, rendered in fine detail with frosted surfaces. The designer's monogram FZ appears at the lower left of the field. The legend NÁVRAT DO VLASTI (Return to the Homeland) is inscribed along the lower rim in raised Latin lettering. |

Niue's dollar coinage exists almost entirely as a vehicle for third-party licensing deals, and this issue is no exception — the island's actual GDP from coin programs dwarfs what circulates domestically. KM# 282 sits in a long sequence of commemorative silver issues produced under agreements with overseas minting and distribution companies, with the New Zealand Mint handling the majority of Niue's licensed output during this period.
