| Reverse description | Richly colourised Christmas scene set against a deep cobalt-blue nocturnal sky. At centre, a large circular frosted inset depicts a five-pointed star in relief, serving as a focal element evoking the Star of Bethlehem. To the right, a reindeer rears dynamically in the field, while at lower left an ornate scrollwork sleigh laden with gilt-highlighted wrapped gift packages is depicted in high relief. The surrounding field is decorated with numerous snowflakes rendered alternately in white and gold colouring, enhancing the festive seasonal character of the design. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed collector coins since the 1990s, contracting with private minting operations to produce limited legal-tender issues under its sovereign authority — a revenue model that funds a meaningful portion of the island nation's budget given its population of roughly 1,600 people. This Christmas dollar is one of hundreds of such issues, produced for the gift and collector market rather than any circulation purpose.
KM# 1374 places it firmly in a catalog sequence so densely packed with Niue commemoratives that Krause dedicated substantial new numbering blocks to accommodate the volume.
