The Mint says about this coin:

Used in the early civilizations of the whole Middle East, the lunisolar calendar is a calendar comprising lunar months and solar years. And now featured on the new $100 coin by Niue issued under the title “The Magic Year of Happiness”! This amazing 2013 coin can boast twelve colored Swarovski crystals richly embellishing its reverse. The obverse of the coin features the magic lunisolar calendar in the form of an intricate ornament outlining the sun with the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II inside. The legends along the rim of the coin indicate the face value of the coin, its issuing country and year. The reverse image of the lunisolar calendar is enriched with twelve colored Swarovski crystals representing each month of the year. The sun in the center of the calendar is realistically depicted to add magic and perfection to the coin design. Early civilizations, such as those of India and Babylon, are known to have attributed gemstones with magical properties and believed in their relationship with the signs of the zodiac. Later on, astrologers have assigned gems of certain colors to the twelve zodiac signs in order to help people influence the planets in their favor. This impressive silver coin by Niue is a great gift idea to delight those who believe in astrology and zodiacal magic.
