| Beschrijving keerzijde | A richly detailed high-relief depiction of Emperor Taizong of Tang, rendered in an antiqued finish with selective gold gilding applied to his ceremonial spear. The emperor is shown in three-quarter view, seated and clad in elaborate imperial armour with intricate surface ornamentation, holding a gilt spear diagonally across the composition. He is surrounded by attendant court figures including ladies-in-waiting to the right and armed retainers to the left, with an eagle perched at upper left and further courtly figures visible in the densely composed background. The Chinese character 唐 (Tang) appears in the left field, and the word LEGEND is inscribed vertically below it in Latin letters. |

This piece belongs to a series pairing the accession of Charles III with historical rulers from other civilizations — a format Niue has used repeatedly to market commemoratives to overlapping collector bases. Taizong, who ruled the Tang dynasty from 626 to 649 AD, came to power through the Xuanwu Gate Incident, in which he orchestrated the killing of his own brothers before pressuring his father Gaozu to abdicate. His reign is nonetheless considered one of the high points of Chinese imperial governance, with the Zhenguan period cited by later dynasties as a model of Confucian administration.
