| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the crowned Royal Arms of Niue at center, depicted as a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown, flanked on either side by laurel branches. The field is polished and mirror-like, consistent with proof striking. The legend NIUE appears to the upper left and the date 2002 to the upper right, both arching around the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue's licensing arrangement with Nintendo, which began in the early 2000s, was one of the first instances of a sovereign government issuing legal tender coinage built entirely around a commercial intellectual property. The arrangement was brokered through a third-party minting intermediary — a model that would later become routine for small Pacific island nations seeking mint revenue without domestic minting infrastructure.
KM#160 is among the earliest entries in what became a long-running Pokémon series from Niue. Low mintage figures and collector crossover between numismatists and Pokémon enthusiasts have kept secondary market demand unusually stable for a novelty issue of this type.
