| Reverse description | A full-bodied goose stands prominently in the centre of the field, accompanied by a smaller goose partially visible behind it, both rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof background. A decorative poinsettia bloom with scrollwork adorns the lower portion of the design. To the right of the goose, the inscription 'Geese a-Laying' is rendered in an ornate script incorporating the numeral '6'. The legend 'TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS' arcs along the upper rim, flanked by ribbon banners on either side. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a reliable vehicle for themed collector silver since the 1990s, licensing its monetary authority to issue commemorative series with no pretense of circulation. This piece belongs to a twelve-part "Twelve Days of Christmas" set released across 2009 and 2010, a format that locks collectors into completing the run — a deliberate sales structure as much as a numismatic one.
