| Reverse description | A stylised full-length figure of Czech gymnast Věra Čáslavská stands upright in the centre of the field, arms raised and extended outward in a triumphant victory pose, depicted in a classical sculptural manner. Behind the figure, a pommel horse apparatus is rendered in the central field, with sweeping curved lines suggesting dynamic athletic motion framing the composition. The inscription PŘESKOK (meaning 'vault' in Czech) appears in the lower portion of the field in spaced Latin lettering. The overall design is executed in a refined, art-deco-influenced style with smooth surfaces and clean lines against a polished field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a reliable vehicle for third-party bullion and collector coinage since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign issuing authority to the New Zealand Mint under a longstanding arrangement with Wellington. This piece is part of a gymnastics-themed series timed to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with Charles III's effigy appearing by default on Niue's currency — he became the territory's head of state automatically upon Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
At 3.11 g of .9999 fine gold, the weight corresponds precisely to one-tenth troy ounce.
