| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two figures in the central field: an adult, rendered in a crouching position, assists a young ice hockey player who is seated and fully equipped with helmet and hockey stick. A radiant burst emanates from behind the figures, and a triumphant silhouette of a hockey player raising a stick is visible in the background. Four stars arc across the upper field above the scene. The Latvian inscription 'JAUNO HOKEJSTU VECĀKI' curves around the periphery, with a crossed-sticks mint mark at the bottom. |

| Additional information |
Niue's treaty arrangement with New Zealand allows it to issue legal tender coinage despite having no independent monetary system, a quirk exploited heavily since the 1990s by bullion and novelty coin programs marketed almost entirely to collectors abroad. This piece is among hundreds of small-format gold issues produced under that arrangement, most with no meaningful circulation history and mintages determined entirely by pre-order demand.
KM#6180 has not been assigned a confirmed struck mintage in standard references at time of writing.
