| Reverse description | The reverse features a striking split composition depicting the DC Comics villain Two-Face, with the left half rendered in silver-toned relief showing pencil-style comic artwork including the character's disfigured face, a flipped coin, and the legend TWO-FACE in the field. The right half is fully colorized and reproduces a collage of iconic Two-Face comic book covers and panels, including references to Batman stories and the 'Carnival of Criminals' issue. Inscribed at the lower left in the field is a bookplate-style text referencing the silver dollar coin, while TM & DC COMICS (S19) appears at the lower right. The mintage number 19000000 is visible at the bottom right edge of the colored section. |

| Additional information |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made it one of the more prolific issuers of licensed pop-culture bullion coins, operating under a longstanding agreement that allows the island territory to monetize its nominal sovereignty for collector revenue. This piece is part of that program, drawing on DC Comics licensing. Niue's actual GDP hovers around $10 million USD, making the mint royalty income from issues like this one economically non-trivial for the territory.
