| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a high-relief sculptural scene commemorating the coronation of Charles IV as King of the Romans, adapted from medieval relief work. A standing ecclesiastical figure, robed and holding a crozier, places a crown upon the head of a seated Charles IV, who is shown enthroned and holding the imperial orb and sceptre. The composition is rendered in deeply struck frosted relief against a mirror-polished divided field. The curved legend KAREL IV. ÚSPĚCHY along the left rim and KORUNOVACE ŘÍMSKÝM KRÁLEM along the right rim frame the central scene, together reading 'Charles IV — Achievements — Coronation as King of the Romans.' |

| Additional information |
The title "King of the Romans" was the traditional designation for the elected heir-apparent to the Holy Roman Emperor — a title last formally used by Francis II before he dissolved the Empire in 1806 under pressure from Napoleon. Niue has issued collector gold under this arcane historical framing before, pairing the British monarch with medieval Imperial titulature in a series that leans heavily on dynastic genealogy.
KM# 159 is a low-mintage bullion-collector hybrid from Niue's prolific output through the New Zealand Mint. The .9999 fineness at 7.78 g corresponds to a quarter-troy-ounce specification.
