| Reverse description | A dynamic fantasy composition depicting a female archer in draped attire, drawn bow in hand, set before a detailed medieval castle with battlements and towers rendered in contrasting silver and gold tones. A rook bird with spread wings is shown aloft atop the castle parapet in the lower centre field, while additional birds in flight appear in the upper right field. The inscription 'ROOK' appears within a rectangular cartouche in the upper right quadrant. The design employs selective gold plating against a proof silver-toned background to create strong visual contrast. |

| Additional information |
Niue's bullion and numismatic program operates under a licensing arrangement that allows the island territory — population under 2,000 — to issue legal tender struck entirely by foreign mints for export to collectors. This piece is part of that apparatus, not a product of any domestic monetary need. The chess series of which it forms a part has drawn consistent collector interest, though production is contracted rather than sovereign in any practical sense.
