Obverse description The quartered coat of arms of Niue occupies the central field, surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown. The shield displays four quarters featuring the Southern Cross stars, a sailing vessel, a coconut palm with a native figure, a sheaf of wheat, and crossed hammers, all supported by two fern fronds flanking the shield. The legend 'NIUE' arcs along the upper left and '1987' along the upper right of the field.

Additional information

Niue began issuing gold and silver commemoratives in the mid-1980s as a straightforward revenue exercise — the coins were never intended for domestic circulation on an island with a population under 2,000. This piece, released at the height of Graf's dominance, predates her 1988 Golden Slam by a year, making it an unusually early institutional acknowledgment of a career still in ascent.
