Below it, the Public Seal of Niue is rendered in full relief, depicting a central roundel with a floral motif encircled by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a royal crown.

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a platform for novelty bullion issues since the 1990s, leasing its sovereign issuing authority to foreign mints — primarily the Polish Mint — in exchange for licensing revenue. This piece belongs to a tarot series, and the rectangular format is a deliberate production choice by the Polish Mint to echo the physical proportions of a tarot card itself.
The KM# assignment places it firmly within the explosion of Niue-issued collector silver that has flooded the market since roughly 2010, most of which never touches the island.
