| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly at center, portrayed as a bearded figure in a blue shirt and red vest, holding a rifle across his body. Behind him, a colorized vignette scene shows mounted horsemen in pursuit across open country, above which a period reward notice reading '£8000 REWARD — ROBBERY and MURDER' is prominently displayed. The name NED is inscribed in bold raised lettering along the left field and KELLY along the right field, framing the central composition. The inscription THE GANG appears in the lower exergue in bold sans-serif lettering. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing hub for commemorative silver dollars since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while retaining the legal authority to contract its own numismatic programs. The "The Gang" release belongs to a wave of pop-culture themed issues that flooded the collector market in the 2010s, produced almost entirely for the slab-and-shelf trade with negligible circulation intent.
KM#1301 attribution places it firmly within Niue's sprawling commemorative catalog, where individual issues can be difficult to trace without the New Zealand Mint's own production records.
