| Reverse description | A frontal bust portrait of Pope Leo XIV depicted in three-quarter view, wearing ornate pontifical vestments including an embroidered stole, with hands clasped before him and the fisherman's ring visible on his right hand. The effigy is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, with an engraver's signature visible at the lower right. The circular Latin legend surrounding the portrait reads LEO XIV P.M. to the left, ANNO I MMXXV to the right, and IN ILLO UNO UNUM across the lower arc, referencing his pontifical title, first regnal year, and papal motto. |

| Additional information |
Pope Leo XIV, elected in May 2025, is the first American-born pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church — born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago. Niue has issued papal commemoratives under its coinage authority for decades, a practical arrangement that lets a Pacific island nation with a population under 2,000 produce collectibles tied to global events it has no geographic connection to whatsoever.
