| Obverse description | The obverse of this large oval gold proof coin features a central depiction of Saint Tryphon (Святый Мученик Трифонъ), the patron saint of hunters, rendered in a Byzantine-inspired relief style. The saint is shown mounted on a rearing horse beneath an ornate Romanesque-style arch adorned with decorative foliate scrollwork on either side. Saint Tryphon is depicted with a halo, his right hand raised in blessing, evoking iconographic tradition. In the lower portion of the field, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appears alongside the denomination '3000 DOLLARS', the year '2011', the fineness mark 'Au 9999', the mint mark 'mw', and the issuer inscription 'NIUE ISLAND'. The Cyrillic legend 'СТЫЙ МЧН ТРИФОНЪ' frames the arch above the central composition. |
