| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed high-relief depiction of the Kroměříž Archbishop's Château and its UNESCO-listed gardens as seen from an elevated perspective, with the château's Baroque tower prominently rising at the left and formal garden arcades visible in the upper portion of the field. The architectural rendering captures the sweeping rooflines, fenestration, and surrounding ornamental parkland in precise sculptural detail, set against a deeply mirrored proof background. A dotted inner border frames the central composition. The Czech-language legend ZAHRADY A ZÁMEK V KROMĚŘÍŽI arcs along the upper portion of the coin between the border and the design. The mintmaster's initials mm appear discreetly in the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
Kroměříž, a Moravian episcopal seat, holds one of Central Europe's best-preserved Baroque garden complexes — the Archbishop's gardens and château were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, recognizing their near-unaltered state since the 17th century. Niue has issued platinum bullion and commemorative pieces under licensing arrangements that allow it to strike coins bearing the British monarch's effigy, a fiscal arrangement common among Pacific microstates with negligible domestic monetary infrastructure.
At one troy ounce of .999 platinum, this piece tracks platinum spot rather than any collector premium tied to the Kroměříž subject matter.
