| Obverse description | The Public Seal of Niue rendered in fine relief at center, consisting of a crowned floral emblem within a wreath, above a ribbon scroll bearing the motto 'ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI' in the field below. The denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' arcs across the upper field, with the date '2023' positioned beneath the central device. The lower field carries the inscriptions '1 oz 999 Fine Silver' and the Lucasfilm copyright notice. The entire design is struck on a shaped flan die-cut to the outline of a stylized chibi character figure. |

| Reverse description | A full-color chibi-style depiction of Indiana Jones rendered in applied color on the shaped flan, portraying the iconic character in his trademark brown fedora hat, brown leather jacket over a white shirt, khaki trousers, and satchel strap across his chest. The character holds a whip in his right hand and stands in a confident, slightly aggressive pose with an intense expression. The stylized cartoon rendering is executed in vibrant polychrome coloring against the silver relief background. The shaped flan is die-cut to follow the silhouette of the character's figure, including the distinctive hat brim extending beyond the coin body. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed bullion since the 1990s, issuing legal tender coinage under New Zealand monetary arrangements while retaining the right to strike collectibles for the international market. This Indiana Jones piece is part of a Disney/Lucasfilm licensing push tied to the 2023 theatrical release of Dial of Destiny, Harrison Ford's fifth and reportedly final appearance in the role.
KM#5986 places it within a dense run of Niue pop-culture issues that catalogers have struggled to sequence consistently.
