| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed composite military scene commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa (Operation Iceberg, 1 April – 22 June 1945). A heavily detailed battleship dominates the lower central field, with period-accurate World War II aircraft depicted in flight above in the upper field, set against radiating sunburst lines. The numeral 75 is rendered prominently in gold-coloured highlights, accompanied by the word YEARS beneath it. The legend BATTLE OF OKINAWA arcs along the upper periphery, while OPERATION ICEBERG appears in the lower mid-field and ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the bottom. The dates 1 APRIL 22 JUNE 1945 appear to the right within the field. |

| Additional information |
Okinawa, April through June 1945: the costliest Pacific Theater engagement by American casualty count, with over 12,000 U.S. servicemen killed and Okinawan civilian deaths estimated between 40,000 and 150,000. Niue, a self-governing island nation in free association with New Zealand, has issued commemorative silver rounds under its sovereignty for decades — largely as a vehicle for international bullion and collector programs rather than domestic monetary use.
At 62.2 grams of .999 silver, this is a 2 troy ounce issue, a format favored by the commemorative market in the late 2010s.
