| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the interior architectural niche of Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, with a classical pediment framing the celebrated monument to William Shakespeare, shown in relief leaning upon a stack of books. Surrounding the central monument, the names of seven distinguished British literary figures are inscribed across the field in a mixture of serif capitals and flowing script lettering: LORD BYRON, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Jane Austen, CHARLES DICKENS, OSCAR WILDE, and WILLIAM BLAKE. The name William Shakespeare is inscribed in italic script on the monument's plinth at the base of the design. The contrasting mirror-polished and frosted proof surfaces accentuate the layered architectural and figural elements. |

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing issuer since the 1990s, producing collector coinage under New Zealand's monetary umbrella — its face-value denominations are legally valid but exist purely for the numismatic market. The "Poets' Corner" branding ties this piece to Westminster Abbey's famous burial and memorial section, which has accumulated literary monuments since Geoffrey Chaucer was interred there in 1400, establishing what became an informal tradition rather than a deliberate founding policy.
KM#5695 sits in a long sequence of thematic bullion issues from the New Zealand Mint on Niue's behalf. At 7.78g of .9999 fine gold, it corresponds to the standard quarter-ounce format ubiquitous in this segment.
