| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of an octopus dominates the field, rendered in sculptural three-dimensional relief with its mantle at upper right and eight tentacles extending across and below the field, their suckers clearly delineated. The background features a photorealistic engraved seascape with coral formations and marine vegetation in the lower field, contrasting with the polished mirror field above. The curved legend 'OCEAN FIVE' arcs along the upper border. Along the right rim appear the inscriptions '1 oz Au 999.9' and the LEV mint mark, while the date '2023' and the individual serial number '001/100' are engraved at the bottom of the field, indicating this coin's place within the limited mintage. |

| Additional information |
Niue functions as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, and its use of the New Zealand dollar for domestic transactions makes its own bullion and collector coinage a purely revenue-driven exercise — the island's numismatic program consistently outearns its GDP contribution from any other single source. The New Zealand Mint, which administers most of these issues, produces them with no intention of circulation.
One troy ounce of .9999 gold in a themed collector format aimed squarely at the natural history crossover market.
