| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two vibrantly colored Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) depicted in dynamic opposition against a polished gold field, rendered in vivid applied coloring. The upper fish displays a deep crimson and magenta body with dramatically flowing fins and tail in swirling shades of red, pink, and purple, while the lower fish is portrayed in rich cobalt blue and teal with iridescent multi-colored flowing fins. The sinuous, fluid lines of the fins interweave dynamically across the field, evoking movement and combat. The inscription SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH is incuse along the lower rim. |

Niue's numismatic program has operated as a revenue-generating vehicle for decades, with the island nation licensing its monetary authority to the New Zealand-based New Zealand Mint to produce collector pieces that never approach the island's shores in circulation. The Siamese fighting fish entry in this 2024 series continues that arrangement. Betta splendens, the species depicted, has been selectively bred in Southeast Asia for over a thousand years — Thai records document fighting fish kept as organized gambling animals during the Sukhothai period, centuries before Western naturalists catalogued them.
The coin carries the KM#6992 reference, placing it within a catalog now so densely populated with Niuean issues that the KM numbering has outpaced many sovereign minting programs many times its size.
