| Reverse description | Full-color printed design depicting Harley Quinn as the dominant central figure, shown in her classic harlequin costume of red and black with blue accents, wielding an oversized mallet and wearing her characteristic jester's mask. The central figure is surrounded by a comic book panel layout comprising multiple smaller vignettes illustrating various incarnations and scenes of the character, rendered in vivid polychrome color print over a mirror-finish silver background. Panels include depictions of Harley Quinn in alternate costumes, action sequences, and romantic vignettes with stylized comic-book typography and sound effects such as HARRLEEY!! The copyright notice DC & TM & © DC COMICS 2019 appears in the lower margin. The overall composition evokes the aesthetic of a classic comic book page. |

| Additional information |
Issued under license from DC Comics, this piece is part of New Zealand Mint's long-running program of privately commissioned legal tender struck on behalf of smaller Pacific island authorities — in this case, almost certainly Niue, which has served as the issuing jurisdiction for hundreds of such collectibles. The "New Zealand Mint" is a private company, not a state institution, and holds no connection to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
Harley Quinn's commercial appeal surged following the 2016 film release, and this coin's production almost certainly tracks that licensing window precisely.
