| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed high-relief representation of the Imperial Fabergé Resurrection Egg, set against a hatched lattice background evoking guilloche enamel work. The open egg, mounted on an elaborate ornamental pedestal with scrolled feet, reveals an interior scene of the Resurrection of Christ: the risen Christ stands triumphant atop a rocky mound, flanked by two kneeling angels in adoration. Two inset brilliant-cut diamonds are set symmetrically into the lateral projections of the egg's equatorial band. The legend IMPERIAL FABERGÉ EGGS is inscribed in the upper field in a period-style serif typeface. |

Niue's bullion and commemorative gold program operates under a licensing arrangement that allows the New Zealand territory's name to appear on coins it has no hand in producing — the actual striking is contracted to the Perth Mint or European houses depending on the series. This piece falls into that category: a collector product issued under Niue's authority in name, with the island nation itself maintaining essentially no domestic mint infrastructure.
KM# 1076 places this within a documented World Coin series entry, though the "Resurrection" theme situates it among a wave of faith-themed issues that flooded the numismatic market through the mid-2010s.
