| Reverse description | Full-colour depiction of Smurfette, the iconic character created by Peyo, shown joyfully seated astride the cap of a large red-and-pink mushroom, her arms outstretched and her head thrown back in laughter, wearing her characteristic white dress and white hat with blonde hair. A smaller red-spotted mushroom stands to her lower left, both set against a light blue sky and a green grassy ground. The artwork is rendered in vivid cartoon style faithful to the original Peyo illustration. The copyright signature © Peyo appears in the lower right of the field. |

Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty silver issues since the 1990s, lending its sovereign name to an enormous range of pop-culture strikes that are sold directly to collectors and never circulate. This piece falls squarely in that category — a bullion-adjacent commemorative produced under a UNICEF-adjacent Smurf licensing arrangement, with the face value a legal fiction against the silver spot price.
The 2023 date places it in the first full year of Charles III's reign following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
