Part of a broader commemorative program issued through Niue's licensing arrangements, this coin belongs to a series honoring cavalry units of the Napoleonic Wars period — specifically the Russian Imperial Army's mounted forces, whose decisive role at Borodino in 1812 marked the bicentennial this issue was timed to observe.
