| Reverse description | Richly colored and intricately detailed reverse depicting ancient Egyptian iconography in full polychrome color application. At center, a large golden disc bears the Eye of Horus rendered in teal and black, flanked by a magnificent pair of outstretched multicolored wings in blue, green, red, and gold, supported by two standing Egyptian goddess figures at either side. A domed cabochon insert, appearing as a holographic or iridescent element, crowns the winged composition at its apex. The lower half of the field features a high-relief silver depiction of the Great Sphinx of Giza with the pyramids receding into the background, rendered against radiating sunbeam motifs in the field. The inscription 'EYE OF HORUS' appears in raised Latin lettering along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed bullion since the early 2000s, contracting design and distribution to external mints while its sovereign name provides the legal tender framework. The Eye of Horus series sits squarely in that commercial bullion category — collector-market product rather than circulating currency, produced for the international precious metals trade rather than the 1,600 residents of the island.
The Egyptian iconography carries no particular connection to Niue's Polynesian heritage or monetary history.
