| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, naturalistically rendered short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is depicted foraging across a textured log in the central field, its distinctive quills rendered in selective platinum plating that contrasts strikingly against the gold substrate. Foliage and leaf litter flank the animal on either side, while a group of ants — the echidna's prey — are scattered across the sandy foreground in finely sculpted detail, also selectively platinum-plated to evoke a nocturnal atmosphere. The composition conveys the animal's nocturnal habitat with rich sculptural depth and careful naturalistic detail. The legend 'AUSTRALIA AT NIGHT' curves along the upper right arc, with 'ECHIDNA' inscribed vertically along the right inner border, all in raised Latin lettering against a darkened proof field. |

Niue's coinage program is essentially a licensing operation — the island territory issues face value in name only, with New Zealand handling its actual currency needs. The echidna piece belongs to a broader Australian wildlife series produced for the collector market, almost certainly struck at the Perth Mint under contract. The selective platinum plating over .9999 gold is a technical flourish that requires precise masking during the plating process, and adhesion quality varies enough across the run that long-term surface integrity is a legitimate concern for registry-grade examples.
