To the left, the inscriptions 'BRILLIANT BABY BAR' appear in the upper field above a small inlaid brilliant-cut diamond and an engraved fox paw print motif.

| Additional information |
Charles James Fox — Whig statesman, gambling addict, and one of the most vociferous parliamentary opponents of the American war — is an unusual choice for a Pacific island bullion issue. Niue's licensing arrangement with private minting houses has produced hundreds of these 1g fractional gold pieces under its sovereign imprimatur, a legal convenience that has nothing to do with the island's 1,600 residents. The embedded diamond is a product differentiator in an aggressively crowded fractional gold market, not a numismatic tradition.
