| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold right-facing bust portrait of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the founding president of Czechoslovakia, depicted wearing his characteristic peaked cap and high-collared coat, rendered in high relief against a darkened mirror field. The portrait occupies the central and lower portions of the coin with considerable artistic detail in the facial features, moustache, and goatee. The birth year 1850 is inscribed vertically along the left rim and the commemorative year 2025 along the right rim. Below the portrait, the bold inscription TGM 175 LET appears in two lines, commemorating the 175th anniversary of Masaryk's birth. |

Tomáš Masaryk, the philosopher-statesman who founded Czechoslovakia in 1918 after decades of lobbying Allied powers during World War I, has become a recurring subject for small-format bullion issues from Pacific island minting programs. Niue's arrangement with major private mints gives it the legal framework to produce gold pieces bearing Charles III's effigy as issuing authority — a Commonwealth convenience entirely disconnected from the subject being honored.
