| Reverse description | Frontal architectural view of the Old Town Hall (Stará radnice) in Brno, Czech Republic, featuring its distinctive Gothic portal surmounted by an elaborately crocketed and pinnacled canopy, beneath which rises the clock tower with its characteristic crooked steeple finials. The flanking wings of the building are rendered with fenestration detail in high relief against a frosted ground. The inscription BRNO appears in the upper left field, and the engraver's monogram dK is positioned to the right of the tower. The composition fills the entire flan, emphasizing the monumental character of the landmark. |

| Additional information |
Niue's authorization of gold bullion issues under the Elizabeth II portrait series reflects a straightforward licensing arrangement — the island territory's coinage rights under New Zealand sovereignty have made it a favored vehicle for private mints, in this case the Czech firm Česká mincovna in Brno, producing small-denomination fractional gold for the collector market rather than any circulation purpose.
