| Reverse description | A colored lenticular or moving-image design recreating a dramatic scene of Allied troops landing on the beaches of Gallipoli in 1915, commemorating the centenary of the ANZAC campaign. Soldiers are depicted wading ashore under fire, rendered in vivid polychrome color against a naturalistic coastal background. The commemorative legend arcs along the upper border of the reverse field, with the dual dates flanking the central motif in the lower portion. The composition serves as a tribute to the fallen servicemen of the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. |

Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for international collectors since the 1970s, its legal tender status underwritten by New Zealand while its numismatic program functions almost entirely as a commemorative export. This piece appeared in 2015 as part of the broader ANZAC centenary wave, marking one hundred years since the April 1915 landings at Gallipoli — a campaign conceived largely by Churchill, executed catastrophically, and abandoned by January 1916 after roughly 130,000 Allied and Ottoman casualties combined.
KM#1297 is one of dozens of Gallipoli centenary issues across multiple issuing authorities that year.
