| Opschrift voorzijde | CHARLES III · NIUE · 2 DOLLARS JC · 2025 · |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly detailed allegorical composition commemorating the Battle of Waterloo (1815). The facing busts of Napoleon Bonaparte, labelled NAPOLEON B. at the left, and the Duke of Wellington, labelled WELLINGTON at the right, dominate the upper field, confronting one another across a dramatic battle scene. Between them in the upper centre stands the Lion's Mound monument atop its stepped plinth, a lion statant at its summit. The lower field depicts a chaotic mêlée of infantry soldiers, cavalry horses, and crossed lances in vigorous low relief. The date 1815 appears in the lower right field alongside the engraver's initials BR and the Kremnica mint mark MK. The exergual legend BITKA PRI WATERLOO (Slovak for 'Battle of Waterloo') is inscribed in bold spaced lettering across the base. |

Niue has long served as a licensing vehicle for third-party commemorative programs, and this piece is no product of local monetary need — the island's GDP wouldn't justify a silver program of this scale. The Battle of Waterloo was fought on 18 June 1815, ending Napoleon's Hundred Days and triggering his second abdication four days later.
Wellington's army held the ridge at Mont-Saint-Jean for most of the day before Prussian forces under Blücher arrived via Wavre to collapse the French right.
