| Obverse description | Crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as rendered by engraver Raphael David Maklouf, centered within a circular relief field set into a rectangular planchet. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and NIUE ISLAND along the right, with the date 2012 appearing at the top. Below the coin, inscribed into the rectangular surround, the fractional denomination legend reads 1/14th of 14 Dollars. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the more prolific licensing authorities for commemorative silver issues, contracting private mints to produce themed collector pieces that bear its name largely as a legal convenience. This piece belongs to a Biblical narrative series issued under that arrangement, with no meaningful connection to Niuean monetary history.
KM#637 is a collector-only item that almost certainly never circulated on the island, whose entire population hovers around 1,500.
