| Reverse description | Highly detailed high-relief depiction of a coiled snake draped over a gnarled branch amid a lush spray of blooming orchids and foliage, its head raised and forked tongue extended to the left. The intricate scale texture of the serpent's body is rendered with exceptional precision, filling the majority of the field. To the left, a rectangular cartouche encloses the Chinese character 蛇 (snake) set against a frosted ground. The naturalistic composition is executed in the traditional East Asian decorative style, celebrating the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac calendar. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a platform for third-party bullion and commemorative programs since the 1990s, licensing its monetary authority to mint operators — predominantly the New Zealand Mint — who produce coins with no meaningful circulation intention. This piece belongs to the annual Lunar series targeting the collector and stackable bullion market, a product category driven almost entirely by secondary demand from Asian markets where Year of the Snake issues historically see stronger premiums than mid-cycle years.
