| Reverse description | A full-colour reproduction of the iconic movie poster for the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial covers the entire reverse field. In the upper portion, the silhouette of Elliott and E.T. flying on a bicycle is set against a large luminous full moon on a deep blue background. In the lower portion, two outstretched hands — one human and one belonging to E.T. — reach toward each other with fingertips nearly touching, a beam of light emanating from E.T.'s finger in homage to the film's central motif. The title legend E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL is inscribed in white across the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for commemorative silver since the early 2000s, with Universal Studios among the IP holders whose properties have appeared on legal tender issued under New Zealand's monetary authority. The E.T. collaboration marks the 40th anniversary of the 1982 Spielberg film.
KM#4971 is one of several pieces in a broader pop-culture series struck at the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue — an arrangement that has drawn mild criticism from serious collectors for diluting the numismatic credibility of the issuer, though secondary market demand for licensed silver rounds in this format remains consistently strong.
