| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the L-shaped Tetrimino form in its classic orientation, composed of four square cells arranged three in a vertical column and one appended to the lower right. Each cell is filled with vivid orange color applied over a textured surface, faithfully replicating the iconic appearance of the L-Tetrimino piece from the Tetris video game. The raised silver borders delineating each cell and the overall L-shaped outline remain uncolored, providing a striking contrast between the bright orange infill and the polished silver edges. The piece interlocks thematically with the other Tetrimino-shaped coins in the series. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long been one of the more permissive issuing authorities for novelty bullion, licensing its name to an enormous range of themed series with little connection to the island itself. This piece belongs to the Tetrimino series — coins struck in the geometric shapes of the seven classic Tetris game pieces. The "L" shape requires a non-rectangular planchet, which demands individual handling at the pressing stage and significantly increases per-unit production cost relative to standard round issues.
Charles III's accession in September 2022 gave the series a new effigy to work with; KM#6017.1 distinguishes this variant from the parallel Elizabeth II strikes in the same run.
