| Reverse description | The central field depicts a bold relief portrait of Charmander, the fire-type Pokémon character, shown in a frontal standing pose with its characteristic flame-tipped tail extending to the lower right, set against a stylised lightning-bolt decorative background. The Pokémon franchise logo 'POKÉMON' appears prominently at the top of the field in the distinctive branded typeface, with the slogan 'Gotta catch 'em all!' below it. To the right of the figure, the name 'CHARMANDER' and its Pokédex number '#04' are inscribed. The denomination '$10' appears in the lower left field, and the copyright notice 'TM & © 2001 NINTENDO' is inscribed vertically along the left inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the more opportunistic issuers in the commemorative coin market, licensing pop-culture intellectual property for legal-tender issues that circulate nowhere near the island's 1,500-odd residents. This Pokémon piece was produced at the height of the franchise's first global wave, when Nintendo and Game Freak's property was generating billions across trading cards, games, and merchandise. The coin was never intended for circulation — it is a bullion-adjacent collectible dressed in legal-tender clothing, minted for the hobby market.
