| Reverse description | The reverse replicates the J-shaped outline of the Tetris J-tetrimino, composed of four square segments arranged in the characteristic configuration of the game piece. Each of the four squares is filled with applied blue coloring, creating a vivid contrast against the polished silver borders that delineate each individual block. The silver rims separating the colored squares accentuate the three-dimensional, modular appearance of the tetrimino. The overall design faithfully recreates the iconic game piece aesthetic of the classic Tetris video game. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long served as a licensing vehicle for novelty bullion concepts, and the Tetrimino series is exactly that — a set of seven coins, each shaped like one of the seven tetrominoes from the 1984 Pajitnov game, designed to interlock physically when assembled. The J-piece is one of the more awkward shapes to strike cleanly in silver, with an asymmetric footprint that creates uneven pressure across the die face during coining.
KM#6018.1 distinguishes this as the first subtype within the J designation, implying at least one variant exists or was planned.
