| Reverse description | A highly detailed, deeply struck scene depicts Sir Perceval in full armour, rendered in dynamic high relief at centre, wielding a raised sword in his right hand and bearing a quartered heraldic shield in his left as he stands astride the coiled body of a great serpent. To the sinister, a distressed female figure emerges from the serpent's coils, arms outstretched in supplication. To the dexter, a serene woman holding a chalice — evoking the Holy Grail — is seated upon a reclining lion, which snarls toward the viewer. The legend 'Sir Perceval' arcs across the upper field in a gothic script, with 'Camelot' inscribed along the lower arc, all set against a finely engine-turned radial background. |

Spencer Perceval remains the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated — shot in the lobby of the House of Commons on 11 May 1812 by John Bellingham, a merchant with a personal grievance against the government. Bellingham was tried and hanged within eight days, a speed of justice that itself generated considerable public controversy.
Niue's licensing arrangement with the Pobjoy and later various private mints has made it one of the most prolific small-territory issuers of commemorative silver in the modern market.
