| Obverse description | The obverse features the Coat of Arms of Niue rendered in high relief, flanked by an artistic composition of stone blocks symbolising the foundational deeds of Charles IV and Arnošt of Pardubice as cornerstones of Czech statehood, the blocks gradually forming the outline of the two-tailed Czech lion. The legend encircles the design, incorporating the issuing authority, denomination, fineness, and date. |

| Additional information |
Charles IV's relationship with Arnošt of Pardubice was foundational to the Bohemian church reform movement — Arnošt served as the first Archbishop of Prague after Charles lobbied Rome to elevate the diocese in 1344, breaking centuries of subordination to Mainz. The pairing on a coin issued by Niue reflects the modern commemorative market's appetite for medieval Bohemian history, a niche that Czech-market distributors have pursued aggressively since the 2010s.
The 62.2g fine gold format places this squarely in the two-troy-ounce tier favored for high-end collector issues with limited mintages.
