| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed frontal view of the Taj Mahal, the celebrated Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The iconic central dome flanked by four minarets and the formal reflecting pool leading to the main gateway are faithfully depicted. The legend TAJ MAHAL arcs across the upper portion of the field, flanked by raised dot stops, while NEW SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD curves along the lower periphery. The design contrasts a frosted architectural motif against a mirror-like background, characteristic of proof finishing. |

| Additional information |
Niue's authority to issue legal tender stems from its 1974 self-governance arrangement with New Zealand, which left monetary policy — and the lucrative commemorative coin program — firmly in Wellington-adjacent hands. The island's population hovers around 1,600 people, making it one of the most sparsely inhabited self-governing territories on earth and entirely dependent on novelty bullion issues like this one for numismatic revenue.
