| Reverse description | Two galloping horses rendered in dynamic high relief, depicted in full stride with heads raised proudly, conveying strength, vitality, and noble bearing. The composition is associated with the Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse. The Chinese character for horse (馬) appears in the field, accompanied by the inscription denoting the coin's gold content and fineness. The design is contained within a plain, polished field that enhances the sculptural quality of the equine motif. |

| Additional information |
Niue's role as a Pacific issuer of collector bullion is purely administrative — the island's currency relationship with New Zealand makes it a convenient licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint, which produced the bulk of these themed gold issues during the 2010s. The 2015 horse series falls squarely within that commercial program, with no particular monetary or historical event driving the issue.
The .9999 fineness places it in the "four nines" purity tier that became a marketing benchmark after the Royal Canadian Mint introduced it for the Maple Leaf in 1982.
