| Reverse description | General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski is depicted on horseback in the central field, rendered in high relief in a dynamic martial composition. He is surrounded by footmen of the Duchy of Warsaw armed with flintlock rifles and drummers in period uniform, evoking the scene associated with the creation of the Polish national anthem in 1797. The design commemorates the Mazurek Dąbrowskiego, formally adopted as the Polish national anthem in 1927. Inscriptions in the legend and field identify the anthem by its Polish and English titles, along with the key dates of its composition and official adoption. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued commemorative gold under its own authority since the 1990s, leveraging its currency relationship with New Zealand to produce legal-tender collector pieces with no domestic circulation whatsoever. This "National Anthem of Poland" issue belongs to a broader series honoring anthems of nations with significant Polish diaspora connections — a commercial program aimed squarely at the Polish collector market rather than any numismatic tradition of the issuing territory.
