| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the iconic cover artwork of the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual (2025 edition), featuring a vivid full-colour depiction of a Beholder — a large, spherical aberrant creature with a single massive central eye, a wide fang-filled maw, and numerous eye-stalks crowned with smaller eyes. The coloured Beholder is rendered in shades of teal and blue and is set against a mirrored silver background of intricate filigree scrollwork. The legend 'DUNGEONS & DRAGONS' appears at the top of the field within a decorative banner, and 'MONSTER MANUAL' is inscribed beneath it in bold lettering. The ornate border framing echoes the aesthetic of the original book cover design. |

| Additional information |
The New Zealand Mint operates as a private mint — not a government institution — and licenses the right to issue legal tender coinage under the authority of Niue, a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. The "Monster Manual" branding ties this piece to Dungeons & Dragons, whose fifth-edition Monster Manual was republished by Wizards of the Coast in 2014 and remains the primary bestiary reference for the game's current ruleset. Collectible coin programs built around tabletop RPG licensing have expanded sharply since the mid-2010s, with Niue-issued pieces among the earliest and most persistent in that niche.
