| Reverse description | Stylized astrological symbol of Capricorn rendered in bold relief dominates the central field, incorporating a set smoky topaz gemstone at its base, adding color and dimension to the design. Two circular holes pierce the flan symmetrically at the left and right sides, consistent with the wearable format of the series. The inscription 'CAPRICORN' is engraved in the lower field in incuse Latin lettering, identifying the zodiac sign depicted. |

Niue's licensing arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has produced hundreds of these fractional gold issues since the early 2010s, most tied to astrological, commemorative, or pop-culture themes sold directly to collectors. None circulate. The island nation itself has a population under 2,000 and no meaningful domestic coin economy — the program exists entirely as a revenue-sharing vehicle between Niue's government and the mint's bullion collectibles division.
