| Additional information |
Poborský's goal against Portugal at Euro 96 — a chipped, looping shot over the keeper from an impossible angle — remains one of the tournament's defining moments and launched him to Manchester United within weeks. Niue has built a substantial bullion and collector program around football iconography, and this piece falls within that run. The .9999 fineness matches the quarter-ounce gold standard common to modern commemorative issues from Pacific island authorities whose mint relationships run through the New Zealand Mint in Auckland.
