A secondary, smaller figure of Green Lantern in flight is shown in the upper right portion of the field, divided by a vertical panel line. The Green Lantern Corps ring insignia is prominently displayed in the lower right field. The legend and copyright inscription are placed along the left inner border. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for themed collector coinage since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory with independent monetary authority to issue legal tender struck at overseas mints. The DC Comics partnership that produced this piece is one of dozens of such arrangements — Warner Bros. licenses its characters broadly to mint programs across Pacific island nations, where the overhead of maintaining a domestic mint is nonexistent.
Green Lantern has appeared across multiple such series, making individual issues highly dependent on secondary market collector demand rather than any scarcity driven by mintage alone.
