| Reverse description | Central field features a full-color photographic-style portrait of a Cocker Spaniel rendered in polychrome enamel, depicting the breed's characteristic long, silky coat and expressive face. Behind the colored image, a detailed relief engraving of a Cocker Spaniel is struck into the coin's surface, providing a subtle textured background. The breed name COCKER SPANIEL is inscribed in bold capital letters along the lower portion of the reverse field. The composition combines modern colorization technology with traditional relief engraving to create a layered, three-dimensional artistic effect. |

| Additional information |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made the island one of the most prolific issuers of themed bullion and collector coinage relative to its population — roughly 1,600 people — with the Crown's nominal authority over the territory providing the legal basis for struck currency that almost exclusively targets overseas collectors rather than domestic circulation. This piece is one of dozens issued under that arrangement in a single decade.
