| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized chibi-style full-figure depiction of Poison Ivy, the DC Comics character, rendered in a cartoonish, rounded aesthetic with exaggerated proportions characteristic of the chibi art form. The figure is shown facing forward, with flowing hair adorned with ivy leaves framing the face, and a costume composed of overlapping leaf motifs covering the torso and legs. The shaped flan follows the precise outline of the character's silhouette, including the leaf-crowned head and standing figure, giving the coin a distinctive non-circular form. The relief is bold and sculptural, with fine detailing in the foliage elements of both the hair and costume. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty bullion since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand's Crown authority while contracting design and distribution to private mints — most prominently the New Zealand Mint. This piece belongs to a wave of nature-themed legal tender issues where the "poison ivy" subject is the entire commercial proposition, the Niue connection purely jurisdictional.
The KM# assignment suggests third-party cataloging caught up with this issue relatively recently. Gold-plated .999 silver at one troy ounce is the workhorse specification of the modern collector bullion market — this coin exists because that market exists.
