| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief depiction of the Treasury of Petra (Al-Khazneh), the iconic rock-cut facade of the ancient Nabataean city in Jordan, occupies the central field. The classical Hellenistic facade is rendered with columns, pediments, sculpted figures in niches, and ornate architectural detailing. The surrounding legend arcs around the rim, reading PETRA at the top and NEW SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD continuing along the left and right borders. The overall design celebrates Petra's designation as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. |

| Additional information |
Niue's ongoing arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has produced hundreds of licensed bullion and collector issues since the 1990s, with the island's nominal sovereignty providing the legal issuing authority while carrying no expectation of domestic circulation. This piece belongs to a series commemorating UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Petra, the Nabataean rock-cut city in southern Jordan, was designated in 1985.
At 0.5 grams, the gold content is negligible as bullion. These fractional issues trade almost entirely on collector demand.
