| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised hawksbill sea turtle rendered in an intricate Maori-inspired tribal pattern of spirals and curvilinear motifs occupies the central field, depicted swimming to the left against a stippled aquatic background with scattered air bubbles rising around it. The word TURTLE is inscribed along the upper left arc of the rim. The fineness and weight designation FINE SILVER .999 5 OZ appears in small lettering along the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made it one of the most prolific bullion-issuing territories in the Pacific, despite having a population under 2,000 and no meaningful domestic coin circulation. The Hawksbill Turtle series ran across nearly a decade, with each annual release carrying identical specifications while the secondary market treated earlier dates as premiums over spot — a pattern that reversed sharply when the series was discontinued.
The hawksbill itself is a CITES Appendix I species, meaning international commercial trade in the animal is banned under the 1973 Washington Convention. The irony of a legally protected creature anchoring a long-running commercial bullion program was not lost on collectors.
