| Reverse description | Highly detailed high-relief depiction of the façade of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, showcasing the Gothic architectural elements including the grand arched portal with elaborate archivolts, decorative frieze, and the upper spire finial. The intricate stonework, tracery, and sculptural ornamentation are rendered with exceptional depth and precision against a finely frosted square field. The inscription 'NOTRE DAME' identifies the subject. This coin is the first in a series of fourteen commemorating the cathedral. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a fourteen-part series issued by Niue commemorating Notre-Dame de Paris, struck the same year a major multi-phase restoration campaign on the cathedral was underway — years before the April 2019 fire that destroyed the spire and much of the roof. The square format is a deliberate departure from round coinage, used here to echo architectural framing rather than any minting tradition.
