| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed architectural rendering of the Romanesque rotunda of St. Catherine in Znojmo, Czech Republic, presented in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The cylindrical tower with its conical roof and an adjoining fortification wall with stairways occupy the lower portion of the field, conveying the historic character of the 11th-century landmark. The city name ZNOJMO is inscribed in arcing legend along the upper portion of the field. The engraver's monogram Lk appears in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Znojmo, a Moravian city whose catacomb network stretches over a kilometer beneath its historic center, has appeared on several Czech-themed bullion issues marketed through Pacific sovereign minting programs. Niue's legal tender framework — established through a longstanding arrangement with the New Zealand government — has made it a favored issuing authority for small-format gold fractionals like this one, where the nominal face value is purely formal and the coin trades entirely on its metal content.
