| Reverse description | Central design features the iconic Statue of Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor), sculpted by Paul Landowski and located atop Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, depicted in full frontal view with arms outstretched, enclosed within a beaded or raised circle. A stylized cloud formation occupies the background, evoking the monument's hilltop setting. The statue is rendered in fine relief, capturing the monumental character of this modern wonder. Surrounding legends identify the series and subject in raised Latin lettering, with the mint date and gold fineness also inscribed. |

| Additional information |
Niger issued this piece as part of a broader wave of tiny gold coins produced by African nations in the early 2010s — most struck at European mints, typically Berne or Valcambi, with the issuing country's name serving largely as a licensing arrangement rather than reflecting any meaningful national monetary program. The Christ the Redeemer statue itself was completed in 1931 after nine years of construction, engineered by Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by Paul Landowski.
