| Obverse description | Central field features the Public Seal of Niue within a circular wreath of laurel branches rendered in high relief against a polished gold-plated surface. The denomination TWO DOLLARS appears above the seal, with the date 2024 below. The surrounding legend reads MLB PLAYERS INC. NEW ZEALAND MINT / MLB 2024 along the upper periphery, and PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI along the lower periphery. The overall design is restrained and heraldic in character, consistent with official Niue collector coin issues. |

| Additional information |
The New Zealand Mint operates as a private mint — it has no role in producing New Zealand's circulating coinage and issues collector pieces under licensing arrangements. This Mookie Betts piece is struck under an MLB license, with Charles III appearing on the obverse by virtue of Niue's status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, which grants the mint access to legal-tender coinage rights under the Niuean crown. The denomination is nominal; no one is spending two Niuean dollars on anything.
