| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the iconic stone columns and ruins of Chichen Itza, the ancient Maya city located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, rendered in detailed relief within a circular border. The site is presented as one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World, with the architectural columns rising prominently in the central field. The surrounding legend identifies the subject and the series, with the date '2014' and gold fineness mark 'AU .999' inscribed in the field. The composition captures the monumental grandeur of the pre-Columbian archaeological site in miniature numismatic form. |

| Additional information |
Niger's sub-gram gold issues from this period were produced by the Monnaie de Paris under licensing arrangements common to several Francophone West African states that retain nominal CFA ties. Chichen Itza's inclusion here is purely commercial — the site has no historical or cultural connection to Niger whatsoever. These pieces target the collector novelty market rather than any numismatic tradition.
