| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the upper portion of the field. Below the royal effigy, an illuminated miniature from the Velislav Chronicle is depicted, illustrating the baptism of Bořivoj I by Archbishop Methodius. The surrounding legend reads NIUE ISLAND · 100 DOLLARS · ELIZABETH II. · CM BOŘIVOJŮV KŘEST 2013, inscribed in Latin script along the coin's periphery. The combination of the royal portrait with the medieval manuscript illustration reflects the coin's commemorative theme linking Niue's issuing authority with Bohemian historical heritage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length standing figure of Duke Bořivoj I, the first documented Přemyslid ruler of Bohemia, rendered in a style inspired by the Romanesque wall paintings of the rotunda at Znojmo. The duke is depicted holding a flag or banner derived from those same rotunda murals, evoking the early Přemyslid iconographic tradition. Prominently displayed alongside the ducal figure is the Přemyslid flaming eagle, symbolizing the dynasty at whose foundations Bořivoj I stood. The reverse legend 40 DUKÁT BOŘIVOJE I. is inscribed in Latin script, referencing the coin's denomination in historical ducat equivalents. The overall composition blends medieval Bohemian artistic conventions with modern numismatic craftsmanship. |
