| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents an elaborate high-relief composition depicting the mythological abduction of Europa by Zeus in the form of a bull, surrounded by richly detailed acanthus and oak-leaf scrollwork that fills the entire field in a dynamic Baroque manner. Cherubs and putti emerge from the foliate ornament at the upper periphery. At the centre bottom, a genuine polished amber cabochon is set into the coin, bearing an intaglio gilt portrait bust of a classical female figure — an artistic homage to ancient amber trade artefacts. The circular legend names the principal cities of the historic Amber Road — SAINT PETERSBURG, PALANGA, KALININGRAD, GDANSK, WROCLAW, BRNO, VIENNA, SZOMBATHELY, LJUBLJANA, and AQUILEIA — running around the outer border, with a small euro symbol visible among the city names. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Amber Road series, issued by Niue through the Polish State Mint in Warsaw, commemorates the ancient trade network stretching from the Baltic coast to the Mediterranean. Poland's mint produced this piece — the amber itself, embedded in the coin, was sourced from the Baltic region, the same geological deposit that supplied Roman merchants two millennia ago.
