| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid, high-relief colored scene evoking an alien encounter in a desert landscape reminiscent of the American Southwest. Dominating the left field is a large, highly detailed extraterrestrial head with textured reptilian skin and a large colored eye. Two flying saucers hover in the upper field against a swirling polychrome sky rendered in full color with hues of pink, orange, blue, and teal. The mid-ground depicts a desert scene with saguaro cacti, rocky buttes, a roadside sign for the SEDONA HOTEL, a directional sign reading LAST STOP 200 MILES and COLD BEER. The legend WE COME IN PEACE appears in large raised lettering along the lower rim. |

Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin licensing hub since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory to issue legal tender struck at mints worldwide. This piece is part of a long-running genre of themed novelty issues produced almost entirely for the collector market — it will not circulate, and was never intended to.
