| Reverse description | A bold, stylized astrological symbol of Virgo (♍) occupies the central field in high relief, rendered in a flowing, graphic artistic style. A single round-cut blue Swarovski crystal element is set into the lower portion of the symbol, adding a decorative gemstone accent. The inscription 'VIRGO' is engraved in capital letters along the lower field beneath the symbol. Two circular holes are pierced through the left and right sides of the coin, consistent with the obverse design. |

Niue's zodiac bullion program, issued under licensing arrangements that use the island's nominal sovereignty as a minting vehicle, produced these 1-gram fractional gold pieces primarily for the Asian gift and collectibles market, where zodiac themes command consistent retail premiums over spot. The New Zealand Mint strikes them on Niue's behalf.
