A bold zigzag starburst design frames the figure. The trademarked 'POKÉMON' logotype appears prominently at the top of the field, with 'CELEBI™' inscribed to the left of the figure. The denomination '$1' is situated at the lower right, and the copyright legend '©Nintendo/Pokémon' appears along the lower left rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue's licensed coin program, which has produced collectible issues under New Zealand monetary authority since the 1970s, became a significant revenue stream for the island territory by the early 2000s. This piece is part of that commercial series — struck not for circulation but for export sale to collectors, with the Niue name lending legal-tender status to what is functionally a private mint product.
KM#166 references the Celebi attribution, likely tied to a themed licensing agreement of the period.
