| Reverse description | A full-length color-printed effigy of Drax the Destroyer, the Marvel Comics character, is depicted in a dynamic standing pose against a vibrant cosmic background rendered in shades of purple, magenta, and blue. The figure is shown with green skin, distinctive red tattoo markings on his arms and torso, and wearing a dark sleeveless vest and trousers, with his right arm raised and left fist clenched. The colored artwork is framed within an incuse rectangular panel bordered by geometric diamond-pattern engraving on the silver surround. The individual edition number '001/150' appears in the lower right of the field, with the legend '1 oz 999 Fine Silver' inscribed at the lower left and the copyright mark '©MARVEL' at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty silver rounds dressed as legal tender, and this piece is squarely in that tradition — a bullion-weight troy ounce of .999 silver issued under a nominal face value that no one will ever spend. The "Drax the Destroyer" license derives from Marvel's comic and film properties, with Niue's arrangement allowing private mints to attach a Pacific island's sovereignty to pop-culture collectibles. Charles III's name appears on the issue simply because 2023 falls within his reign, making him the nominal issuing authority for a coin he had no hand in commissioning.
