| Reverse description | The crowned Polish White Eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in high relief at the centre of the field in the contemporary style of the Polish national emblem, superimposed over a larger, lightly incused outline of the historical eagle in the older heraldic tradition. In the lower portion of the field, the large numerals 1918 are depicted in a bold, stylised design that integrates the eagle motif, referencing both the year of Polish independence and the centenary. The curved legend 100-LECIE ODZYSKANIA PRZEZ POLSKE NIEPODLEGLOSCI arcs along the upper border, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Polish independence in November 1918, this coin belongs to a wave of commemorative gold struck by Niue — a Cook Islands dependency with a population under 2,000 — whose licensing agreements with the Polish Mint have made it an unlikely vehicle for Polish national commemoratives since the 2010s. The arrangement is purely commercial: Niue contributes legal tender status, Poland contributes the design and distribution infrastructure.
