| Reverse description | A dynamic scene depicting a crowd of jubilant basketball supporters with arms raised, rendered in high relief against a stippled background suggestive of a basketball court. Above the crowd, the Žalgiris Basketball Club shield logo is prominently displayed, incorporating a stylized basketball motif within the crest. The large numeral '80' dominates the upper field, flanking the club emblem to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the club. The inscription 'ŽALGIRIS' appears within the shield logo, and the founding year '1944' is inscribed beneath it. |

| Additional information |
Žalgiris — the Lithuanian name for Grünwald — refers to the 1410 battle in which a Polish-Lithuanian coalition decisively broke the military power of the Teutonic Knights, effectively ending their expansion into the Baltic. The victory is still treated as a foundational national moment in both Lithuania and Poland, and the 600th anniversary in 2010 drew the largest public gathering in Lithuanian history.
Niue's involvement is purely contractual; the island nation has issued gold bullion coins for scores of foreign commemorative programs under licensing arrangements since the 1990s.
