| Reverse description | The reverse is shaped and colored to faithfully replicate the front face of a 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk in black, with a raised silver-toned sliding shutter and hub window at the upper center of the field. An arrow icon appears in relief at the upper left corner and an 'HD' designation in raised lettering at the upper right corner, both in silver. The lower two-thirds of the field features a colorized label area comprising a gold-amber header band above a white ruled panel, upon which the inscriptions 'FLOPPY DISK', '2 OZ', 'SILVER .999', and 'MINTAGE 499' are rendered in bold italic script, mimicking a handwritten disk label. |

| 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.
