A fine beaded border runs along the inner rim. The overall finish is gold-plated with a reflective proof-like field. |

| Additional information |
Peter Brock won the Bathurst 1000 nine times between 1972 and 1987, a record that still stands. Niue has become a reliable vehicle for Australian and New Zealand commemorative issues — its status as a Cook Islands-associated territory in free association with New Zealand grants it the legal framework to issue collector coins that circulate nowhere and are redeemed by nobody.
The 110g planchet puts this firmly in the large-format novelty bracket, where the gold plating is primarily a surface treatment on copper-nickel rather than a precious metal commitment.
