| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue prominently displayed within the field, accompanied by silhouetted figures of the Goonies characters riding bicycles, evoking the iconic imagery of the 1985 film. The legend 'NEVER SAY DIE' and the fictional neighbourhood reference 'ASTORIA GOONDOCKS' appear as inscriptions, serving as thematic tributes to the source material. The denomination 'TEN DOLLARS', the fineness designation '5 OZ PURE SILVER', the date '2025', and the individual serial number from the limited edition run of 400 are all inscribed within the lettering. A copyright notice attributing the characters, names, and related indicia to Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. is also present in the legend. |

| Additional information |
Niue has leveraged its status as a sovereign Pacific nation with New Zealand currency backing to build one of the most prolific licensed bullion and collector coin programs in the world — its name appearing on pop culture issues that have no connection to the island's 1,600 residents whatsoever. This piece is part of that machinery: a high-weight, high-relief collector format that uses the Niuean issuing authority purely as legal infrastructure for a Warner Bros. licensing deal.
The 1985 Amblin production was filmed primarily in Astoria, Oregon. That location detail is likely more relevant to buyers of this piece than anything about Niue.
