| Additional information |
Karlovy Vary — the Bohemian spa town known in German as Carlsbad — became synonymous with European aristocratic medicine after Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV allegedly discovered its hot springs in the 14th century. By the 19th century, Goethe, Beethoven, and Tsar Peter the Great had all taken the waters there. Niue has issued a long series of small-format fractional gold pieces commemorating European heritage sites, struck in this sub-gram weight specifically for the bullion gift market rather than any genuine circulation purpose.
