| Reverse description | A detailed relief of a French hen stands prominently at centre-left, facing right with head raised. To the upper right, the numeral '3' in large script accompanies the inscription 'French Hens' in ornate lettering. A decorative sprig of holly with berries and scrollwork occupies the upper field. The curved banner legend 'TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS' arcs along the lower portion of the coin within a scroll-style ribbon, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field with a beaded border. |

Niue has operated as a numismatic licensing hub since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand's currency umbrella while generating revenue almost entirely from collector sales rather than circulation. This piece belongs to a "12 Days of Christmas" series produced across multiple years, a format that became commercially reliable for Pacific island mints in the 2000s as the secondary market for themed silver sets expanded.
