| Reverse description | A richly detailed naturalistic scene depicting two red-eyed tree frogs amid dense nocturnal foliage. The dominant frog, shown in close-up three-quarter view, clings to a vertical reed or stem at the right, its textured skin and adhesive toe pads rendered with exceptional sculptural realism. A second, smaller frog rests on broad leaves in the lower left, gazing upward. In the background, a luminous full moon rises over a reflective body of water, while a moth in flight is silhouetted against it, evoking a nocturnal Australian habitat. The arched legend 'AUSTRALIA AT NIGHT' appears in the upper field, with 'RED-EYED TREE FROG' inscribed on a second line beneath it. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing vehicle for foreign bullion and collector programs since the 1990s, with the New Zealand government handling its monetary affairs while the island licenses its name to mints — primarily the Polish Mint in recent years — producing pieces that circulate nowhere near Niue itself. KM#7105 sits in a long line of Niuean wildlife issues with no particular connection to the island's fauna; the red-eyed tree frog is native to Central America.
