| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a three-quarter-length figure of Thomas Jefferson, dressed in 18th-century colonial attire, seated and holding a quill pen, with classical columns visible in the background. To the left occupies a large reproduction of the title page of the 1774 pamphlet 'A Summary View of the Rights of British America,' its text rendered in period typography across the field. The arc legend VIEW OF THE RIGHTS appears prominently along the upper rim. The date 1774, referencing the year of the pamphlet's publication, is inscribed in large numerals along the lower exergue. The lower portion of the pamphlet bears the imprint BY A NATIVE AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF BURGESSES, WILLIAMSBURG, PRINTED BY CLEMENTINA RIND. |

| Additional information |
The "View of the Rights" series is a Niue-issued numismatic program drawing on Enlightenment-era legal philosophy, using Charles III's accession as a framing device. Niue, a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, regularly licenses its coinage authority to third-party minting programs — this piece is almost certainly a product of that arrangement rather than any domestic monetary need.
Copper-nickel strikes in this type of themed series are typically the base-tier issue within a broader precious-metal program.
