| Reverse description | Rectangular field bearing a faithful reproduction of an original 1940 Walt Disney Productions character model sheet for Pinocchio, struck in high relief against a silver ground and rendered in monochrome. A large central figure of Pinocchio is surrounded by multiple smaller annotated sketches depicting him in various poses and character states, including a donkey-eared variant and a version with an elongated nose. Production annotation legends are distributed throughout the field, providing original animators' notes. The 'Disney × agoro' collaborative mark appears at lower left, with a 'CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC' serial number at lower right. The title 'PINOCCHIO – 1940 – WALT DISNEY PROD' is prominently displayed at the top of the field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated a prolific bullion and collector coin licensing program since the 1990s, contracting with the New Zealand Mint to produce themed legal tender issues that have no practical circulation use. The country's GDP is small enough that licensing fees from these programs constitute a meaningful revenue stream.
The pairing of a British monarch's effigy with a Disney-licensed character reflects an arrangement unique to a handful of Pacific island nations whose currency ties to larger Commonwealth economies give them the legal standing to issue coins while having essentially no domestic monetary infrastructure of their own.
