| Obverse description | The obverse is shaped and colored to replicate the back face of a 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk in black, with applied silver-colored metallic detailing reproducing the sliding shutter assembly and write-protect tab at the upper portion of the field. A yellow-gold colored label panel occupies the lower section. At center, a raised circular medallion depicts the Public Seal of Niue, featuring a crowned central shield bearing a stylized breadfruit plant motif, surrounded by a wreath border, with crossed weapons beneath. The denomination legend '2 DOLLARS', issuer name 'NIUE ISLAND', and date '2024' appear in raised silver lettering below the medallion. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long served as a licensing issuer for novelty bullion programs, and this piece continues that arrangement — the "Floppy Disk" shape references the 3.5-inch magnetic storage medium that dominated personal computing through the 1980s and 1990s before being effectively obsolete by the early 2000s. The coin is struck in a square format with a notched corner replicating the physical housing of a high-density diskette.
KM#6832.1 is the Charles III obverse variant, distinguished from the earlier Elizabeth II iteration of the same design program.
