| Reverse description | A laureate bust of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in a bold neoclassical style with fine detail in the flowing beard and hair. The god wears a laurel wreath upon his head and a draped robe over his shoulders, and his right hand grasps a thunderbolt, the symbol of his divine authority, held prominently to the right of the composition. The inscription ZEUS appears in the left field, identifying the subject. The design fills nearly the entire coin face, with the figure emerging dramatically from a smooth satin field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's bullion and collector coinage is struck under contract by foreign mints and authorized under a longstanding arrangement that allows the island territory — population under 2,000 — to generate revenue through numismatic licensing. The Zeus theme places this in a broader series of classical mythology issues that Niue has produced prolifically since the 2010s, largely targeting the collector market rather than any domestic circulation need.
At 0.0311 g, this is a one-tenth-grain gold piece — among the smallest gold coins commercially produced anywhere.
