| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief depiction of ice hockey legend Peter Forsberg in full stride, lunging forward with his stick extended toward a puck, captured in the celebrated moment from the 1994 Winter Olympics gold medal shootout. A hockey net occupies the upper right of the field, and a lone puck is shown in motion before the goal. In the upper left corner, the Olympic rings appear alongside the three Swedish crowns emblem, referencing the national team affiliation. The legend 'PETER FORSBERG' appears on the first line below the central design, followed by 'TEAM SWEDEN 1994' on the second line, both rendered in bold incuse lettering across the lower portion of the rectangular field. |

Niue has issued sports-themed bullion coinage for decades under licensing agreements that allow it to place NHL and other athletes on legal tender — an arrangement that costs the island nation almost nothing while generating royalty revenue and attracting collector premiums well above melt. Forsberg's coin falls into a series capitalizing on his Hockey Hall of Fame status and enduring market appeal among North American collectors.
The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold issues in the series.
