The Mint says about this coin:

We are delighted to present this sparkling silver piece by Niue dedicated to the Colosseum, probably the most famous landmark in Rome. The special thing about this coin is the innovative application of the stunning hologram depicting ancient Colosseum. Struck from 1 oz silver 999 in proof quality, the coin has got the mintage of 3 000 pieces. The traditional obverse of a coin by Niue features the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth ІІ.Among the inscriptions, there are: the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, its issuing country and year. On the beautifully illustrated reverse, one can see the relief image of the Colosseum. Built in the 1st century AD, this great arena could seat 45,000 spectators and was the largest Roman amphitheater in the world. At first glance the coin depicts a version of the famous Roman landmark in it’s current state. When viewed from a different angle though, the reverse displays the missing parts to create an image of what the Colosseum looked like when it was constructed. This new hologram technique is simply amazing! Apart from being a remarkable collector’s item, the coin will make a nice gift for those in love with Rome!
