| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by an intricate, densely engraved decorative field of swirling floral and foliate motifs arranged in a symmetrical Gothic-inspired pattern. At the centre, a faceted blue Swarovski crystal is inlaid within a radiant sunburst surround, serving as the birthstone for November. To the upper right, the glyph of Sagittarius is prominently displayed, referencing the zodiac sign associated with November. The month name 'NOVEMBER' is inscribed in bold capital letters along the lower rim on a polished ground. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the Pacific's most prolific licensing mints-by-proxy, issuing commemorative silver under New Zealand monetary agreement while contracting actual production to foreign facilities — this piece being a product of that arrangement rather than any domestic minting capacity. The embedded Swarovski crystal, a feature that became almost compulsory in the novelty bullion market around 2010–2015, places it firmly in a category of issues designed for gift retail rather than numismatic circulation.
