| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Rumcajs, the beloved Czech animated cartoon outlaw character originally created by illustrator Radek Pilař, rendered in a lively, rounded style faithful to the original animated series. The squat, bearded robber-hero is shown in full figure, wearing his iconic tall hat, boots, and cape, with one hand raised in a waving gesture, striding across a stylised landscape in the lower field. The character's name RUMCAJS arcs boldly in large raised lettering across the upper portion of the field. The engraver's initials IH for Irena Hradecká appear in the lower left field, while copyright and licensing inscriptions run vertically along the right inner border. The composition is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof background. |

| Additional information |
Rumcajs — known in English-speaking markets as Rumcajs the Robber — is a Czech animated character created by writer Václav Čtvrtek, who first appeared in a 1966 Czechoslovak Television series that became a fixture of Central European childhood. Niue has built a sustained bullion and collector program around licensed pop-culture properties, particularly Central and Eastern European animated franchises, exploiting its status as a Cook Islands-adjacent Pacific microstate with full coin-issuing authority under New Zealand's monetary umbrella.
At 3.11 g of .9999 gold, this is a quarter-ounce equivalent struck for the collector market rather than circulation. The KM# 1874 assignment places it within a sprawling Niue catalog that by 2017 numbered in the hundreds of licensed issues.
