A central recessed well to the right contains a small gilt pig insert plated with 24-carat gold, symbolizing good fortune. The legend 'GOOD LUCK' is inscribed in raised letters along the lower rim, and swirling decorative lines fill the background field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long functioned as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand-administered mint program, issuing legal tender coins that circulate nowhere near the island. This piece belongs to a wave of novelty silver issues produced for the collector and gift market in the early 2010s, when demand for small-denomination themed silver coins peaked sharply among European and Asian buyers.
The piggy bank motif was specifically marketed as a savings-themed gift item — the coin itself standing in for the object it depicts.
