Description
The reverse of the coin presents a supposed image of the Hangin Gardens of Babylon. Delicate flowers and massive trees grew on the stepped terraces of the hanging gardens that rose high into the sky. This was made possible by an ingenious irrigation system consisting of an extensive network of pipes, high wells and spiral pumps, through which workers constantly drew water from the Euphrates. The gardens provided a cool refuge from the scorching heat of the Babylonian sun and were therefore visited by many people. However, few records of them survive and it is not even certain that an earthly paradise in the middle of the desert really existed. The obverse of the coin presents all the Seven Wonders of the World and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions: "NIUE ISLAND" - the issuing country, "5 DOLLARS" - the face value, "ELIZABETH II" – tha name of the Queen and "2021" - the year of issue.
