| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, rendered in high relief after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait. The Czech Mint mintmark (CM) appears to the left of the bust, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation. The circumferential legend, separated by raised dot stops and bordered by a beaded inner circle, reads NIUE ISLAND · 5 DOLLARS · ELIZABETH II, with the date 2022 positioned along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Karlštejn Castle, built by Charles IV beginning in 1348, was constructed specifically to house the Bohemian crown jewels and imperial regalia — not as a residence, but as a reliquary stronghold. It never fell to siege. This issue belongs to a broader wave of Czech-themed commemoratives licensed through Niue, whose revenue-sharing arrangements with foreign mints have made it one of the most prolific nominal issuers of small-format gold in the modern era.
