| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular gold bar-style coin features the Public Seal of Niue rendered in fine detail at the left, enclosed within an ornate cartouche and surmounted by a crown.

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the Latvian independence and democracy referendum of 3 March 1991, featuring the principal question posed to Latvian citizens inscribed in three lines across the upper field in Latvian: 'VAI JŪS ESAT PAR DEMOKRĀTISKU UN VALSTISKI NEATKARĪGU LATVIJAS REPUBLIKU?' ('Are you in favour of a democratic and independent Republic of Latvia?'). Below the inscription, two ballot boxes are depicted side by side — the left bearing 'JĀ' (Yes) and the right bearing 'NĒ' (No) with a cross struck through it, symbolising the overwhelming affirmative vote of the Latvian people. A horizontal ruled line separates the ballot imagery from the date legend '1991. GADA 3. MARTA TAUTAS APTAUJA' (People's Poll of 3 March 1991) inscribed along the lower margin. Decorative cross motifs appear at the lower corners, echoing traditional Latvian folk art symbolism. The design is struck in high relief against a polished gold field within a fine border. |
