| 裏面の説明 | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Blue-banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata) rendered in high relief at the centre of the field, its thorax and body textured to convey dense fur. The bee's wings are shown spread and are highlighted with selective blue and iridescent colouring, while the distinctive blue banding across the abdomen is rendered in vivid applied colour. The insect is set against an elaborate botanical background of finely engraved native Australian flora, including leaves, blossoms, and berries in low relief. The curved legend 'BLUE-BANDED BEE' arcs across the upper field, and the inscription '1oz 999 PURE SILVER' is positioned in the lower field below the central design. |

Niue has operated as a vehicle for New Zealand-administered commemorative coinage for decades, licensing its name to issues that have no connection to the island's roughly 1,500 residents. This piece is one in a long-running nature series exploiting that arrangement — the blue-banded bee (Amegilla cingulata) is native to Australia and parts of Southeast Asia, not Niue.
The species is notable for buzz pollination, vibrating at a specific frequency to dislodge pollen that standard bees cannot access — a biological trait that makes it commercially significant to Australian greenhouse agriculture.
