| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a highly detailed representation of the Imperial Fabergé Cockerel Egg of 1900, presented in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The ornate egg, mounted on a columned pedestal and adorned with applied laurel garlands and a large rose-cut circular medallion on its open door, dominates the centre of the oval flan. At the lower foreground, the celebrated cockerel automaton surprise — a crowing rooster figure — is shown beside a finely engraved circular shield-like disc. Flanking the composition are decorative column supports and stylised foliate branches, enhancing the imperial Russian aesthetic. The curved legend IMPERIAL FABERGÉ EGGS arches along the upper portion of the field in a distinctive serif typeface. |

Niue has operated as a prolific vehicle for novelty bullion issues since the late 2000s, licensing its minting authority to private distributors who target the collector market rather than any genuine monetary need. This particular piece is part of a broader "Egg" series produced by a Polish private mint, with the cockerel design aimed squarely at Asian export markets where the rooster carries strong cultural associations with prosperity.
The .900 fineness is a deliberate nod to pre-1933 American gold coinage rather than the .9999 standard now expected of modern bullion. A calculated choice — or simply a cost decision dressed up as heritage.
