| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed, antiqued composition celebrating ancient world civilizations, depicting the rock-carved city of Petra as its central architectural motif, evoking the grandeur of Nabataean craftsmanship. Flanking and surrounding the main scene are additional cultural references including a scene of rebirth and the celebrated Flying Horse of Gansu from Chinese antiquity. The design incorporates polychrome or patinated surface treatment to enhance the depth and texture of the relief. Inscriptions in the field reference key ancient sites and cultural identifiers. The overall composition is executed in high relief with exceptional numismatic artistry. |

| Additional information |
Niue's legal tender coinage program is one of the most commercially prolific in the world, operated largely as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand-administered territory's numismatic revenue. The "Treasures of Ancient Civilizations" series falls squarely within that model — bullion-adjacent collector issues struck at contracted mints and sold direct to the hobby market rather than circulated on the island itself.
KM#5873 is a very recent addition to the catalog, and independent auction data on secondary-market pricing remains thin.
