| Reverse description | A large, three-dimensional sculpted Dalek — the iconic robotic antagonist from the BBC television series Doctor Who — dominates the centre of the field, depicted in high relief against a vivid coloured background of deep crimson and magenta nebular imagery applied by selective colour printing. A honeycomb-patterned border frames the inner design, with open hexagonal voids creating a decorative lattice effect on the right side. To the upper left of the Dalek, the incuse legend EXTERMINATE / EXTERMINATE / EXTERMINATE appears in three stacked lines. The DOCTOR WHO logo is displayed in a rectangular cartouche at the lower centre, and a small copyright inscription reading DW logo 2012 & BBC Licensed by BBC, www.bbc.co.uk appears along the left inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated a bullion and licensed collectibles program since the early 1990s, using its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to issue legal tender coinages that would otherwise have no connection to the island's roughly 1,600 residents. The Daleks — introduced in the second Doctor Who serial in December 1963 — became one of the BBC's most commercially licensed properties almost immediately, a relationship between the corporation and Terry Nation's estate that has generated licensing revenue continuously for over six decades.
The BBC Worldwide licensing agreement that authorized this issue was part of a broader wave of numismatic Doctor Who merchandise timed to the show's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2013–2014.
