| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the characters of Pippi Longstocking and her father, the self-proclaimed King Efraim Longstocking, in high relief after the iconic illustrations of Swedish artist Ingrid Vang Nyman. Pippi is shown in the foreground with her characteristic braided pigtails and wide-eyed expression, while her father stands behind her wearing a crown and regal attire, holding a sceptre. The legend 'KURRAKURRADOOT ISLAND' arcs along the left and lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. The copyright notice '© INGRID VANG NYMAN' appears in the right central field. The design is executed in a bold, cartoonish illustrative style faithful to the original Vang Nyman artwork. |

| Additional information |
Kurrakurradoot Island does not appear in standard geographic references, and Niue's numismatic program — managed largely through foreign licensing arrangements — has a documented history of issuing coins themed around obscure or invented place names marketed primarily to topical collectors rather than as circulating currency. Whether this reflects a genuine if obscure Australian geographic feature or a wholly commercial construction, the coin's issuing authority is Niue in name only; the island's actual monetary relationship with New Zealand means these gold pieces carry legal tender status that would never be tested in practice.
