| Obverse description | The obverse features a central wreath of laurel branches encircling the denomination inscription TWO DOLLARS above the date 2024, with a small crowned royal cipher or seal device at center. The legend MLB PLAYERS INC. NEW ZEALAND MINT MLB 2024 runs along the upper periphery, while PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI 2024 appears in the lower field. The entire surface is finished in gold plating, imparting a warm, lustrous appearance to the relief design. The composition is restrained and heraldic in character, consistent with contemporary New Zealand Mint collector coinage issued for Niue. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a licensing vehicle for commemorative coin programs aimed squarely at the collector market, with its sovereignty allowing foreign mints — typically New Zealand's Mint — to produce legal tender issues that have no practical circulation life whatsoever. This piece falls squarely into that commercial framework: Judge's 2022 AL MVP season and 62-home-run record provided the licensing hook.
The 62nd home run broke Roger Maris's American League record that had stood since 1961.
