| Reverse description | A full-body depiction of a galloping Friesian horse rendered in vivid colour-printing technique, occupying the central field. The jet-black stallion is shown in dynamic mid-stride with flowing mane and tail, conveying power and elegance. In the background, a lightly engraved scene featuring a traditional Dutch windmill and a stylised map of the Frisian region provides geographic context. The Polish legend 'KOŃ FRYZYJSKI' is inscribed in relief along the upper arc, while the English equivalent 'Friesian Horse' appears in smaller lettering along the lower field. |

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative silver since the 1990s, contracting its sovereign issuing authority to foreign mints and bullion programs targeting thematic collectors rather than circulation. This horse series is part of that commercial output — coins struck not for any monetary purpose but sold directly into the collector market, primarily in Europe where Friesian breed enthusiasm is concentrated.
