| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour appliqué depiction of the Dark Magician, the iconic spellcaster monster from the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game and anime franchise. The character is shown in a dynamic three-quarter pose, clad in dark blue and red armoured robes and a tall pointed sorcerer's hat, wielding a long staff tipped with a green orb in his right hand while his left hand is extended forward. The figure is framed within a decorative gold-coloured circular border engraved with Egyptian-style hieroglyphic motifs and geometric designs, set against a white field. The vivid polychrome colouring and detailed anime artwork fill the coin's entire inner surface, creating a striking collector's piece. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a licensing vehicle for pop-culture bullion, issuing legal tender under a Cook Islands-style arrangement that lets foreign promoters access the Commonwealth mint infrastructure while Niue's own population of roughly 1,500 people uses New Zealand dollars for actual commerce. This piece is part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series tied to the trading card game's 25th anniversary, a franchise that generated over $10 billion in licensed merchandise revenue by the time these coins were commissioned.
