| Reverse description | The reverse bears a richly colored reproduction of a painting in the style of John Singer Sargent's 'After Church,' depicting a sunlit scene with lush foliage and architectural elements rendered in an impressionistic manner. The composition features verdant tree branches rendered with fine chromatic detail against a pale stone wall or building facade, conveying the atmospheric quality characteristic of late 19th-century plein-air painting. The colored artwork is applied to the square flan, making full use of the format to present the pictorial subject. No inscriptions appear on the reverse field, allowing the artwork to dominate the design entirely. |

| Additional information |
The "After Church" title references a specific Terence Cuneo painting from his mid-20th century body of work depicting everyday English rural life. Niue's involvement is purely fiscal — the island nation generates significant revenue through licensing its monetary authority to bullion and commemorative programs, a practice formalized in the 1970s when New Zealand granted it self-governance in free association.
