| Reverse description | The reverse field is fully occupied by a vivid full-colour depiction rendered in classic Marvel Comics graphic style, showing Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder, portrayed as a powerful blonde-haired warrior in a dynamic three-quarter bust composition. He wears his signature winged helmet and dark armour with a red cape, his expression fierce and resolute as he raises Mjolnir, his enchanted hammer, overhead with his right hand. Bold diagonal speed lines in shades of blue fill the background, conveying dramatic motion and power. The design extends to the shaped edges of the planchet, maximising the visual impact of the comic-book aesthetic across the entire reverse surface. |

| Additional information |
Issued under New Zealand Mint's licensing arrangement with Marvel Entertainment, this piece is part of a broader series tying legal-tender status — conferred by Niue, not New Zealand — to mass-market collectibles. The "2 Dollars" face value is a Niue instrument; New Zealand Mint itself is a private refinery with no governmental minting mandate.
KM# 435 places it firmly in Niue's expanding catalog of pop-culture issues, a revenue strategy the island has pursued aggressively since the early 2010s.
