| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief rendering of Charmander, the fire-type Pokémon character numbered #04, is depicted facing slightly left in the central field against a darkened background, with a flame burning at the tip of its tail. The stylised POKÉMON™ logo arcs across the upper field above the slogan 'Gotta catch 'em all!™' in script lettering. The name CHARMANDER™ and the Pokédex number #04 appear to the right of the figure, while the denomination $1 is inscribed to the lower left. Zigzag lightning-bolt decorative elements frame the character on both sides, and the copyright notice TM & © 2001 NINTENDO is inscribed vertically along the left inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long licensed its sovereign coinage authority to foreign minting operations producing collectibles with no genuine circulation intent, and this Pokémon issue is a straightforward product of that arrangement. Nintendo's Pokémon franchise was at peak commercial saturation in 2001, and several Pacific island nations struck similar licensed pieces during this window.
