| Reverse description | Two dynamic basketball players are depicted in the central field, rendered in high relief with bold, stylized lines conveying athletic motion; one figure drives toward the basket while the other leaps in a dunking pose. A basketball hoop and net device appears in the upper left quadrant, serving as a compositional anchor. Radiating lines in the field evoke the lines of a basketball court, lending depth and perspective to the design. The legend BASKETBALL WORLD CUP arcs vertically along the left periphery, while the co-host nations PHILIPPINES, JAPAN, and INDONESIA are inscribed in three lines to the right of center. The overall composition commemorates the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup hosted jointly by the three named nations. |

Niue has long operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative coinage, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while contracting production largely to the Perth Mint and the Polish Mint. The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup was hosted by the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia — the first edition to span three countries simultaneously.
At 0.5 grams, this sits at the smallest practical threshold for struck .9999 gold coins.
