| Reverse description | Central design depicts a kangaroo standing upright on the left and an emu on the right, both facing inward and gazing upward toward the Southern Cross constellation rendered in the upper field as four four-pointed stars amid a stippled starfield. The scene is set against a stylised Australian outback landscape with low hills and native grasses in the foreground. A Greek key decorative border encircles the inner field, and the ABC Mint mintmark in a square cartouche appears at the bottom centre. The legend THE SOUTHERN CROSS arcs across the upper left, with 1 OZ ABC MINT 9999 FINE GOLD inscribed across the upper right; the designer's initials TD are incuse at lower left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's coinage authority exists almost entirely as a vehicle for third-party minting programs — the island's GDP could not absorb a fraction of the face values nominally assigned to these issues. The New Zealand Mint produces the bulk of Niue-licensed gold under arrangements that have nothing to do with circulation and everything to do with bullion premiums and collector markets.
The Southern Cross has navigational and cultural significance across the southern hemisphere, but its appearance on a Niue-licensed issue tells you more about marketing demographics than Pacific history.
