| Reverse description | A stylized chibi-style full-figure effigy of Two-Face, the DC Comics villain, rendered in vivid polychrome color against the shaped silver field. The figure is bisected vertically: the left half depicts Harvey Dent's normal appearance with a fair complexion, brown hair, a green eye, and a tan suit with pink tie, while the right half presents his disfigured persona with a purple scarred face, white hair, a red eye, and a blue pinstriped suit with green tie. The coin's shaped contour follows the outline of the character's head and body, emphasizing the dual nature of the subject. |

| Additional information |
Niue functions as a convenient licensing vehicle for the New Zealand-administered coin program, and issues like this one are produced entirely for the collector market — legal tender in name only, with no expectation of circulation. The "Two-Face" designation places this within a growing category of lenticular or dual-portrait novelty strikes that have proliferated since the 2022 accession of Charles III gave mints a ready commercial hook.
Charles III coinage remains in an unusual transitional state globally, with many Commonwealth realms still debating effigy specifications as late as 2023.
