| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of an iconic Anne Geddes photograph occupying the entire field, depicting a sleeping newborn boy curled atop a large, vibrantly colored peach or similar fruit rendered in shades of red, orange, and green against a dark background. The image is applied in color printing over the proof silver surface, creating a striking contrast with the reeded silver border. The legend ANNE GEDDES® appears along the lower portion of the design, accompanied by the fineness and weight inscription 1OZ 999 SILVER below. The overall composition reflects Geddes's celebrated artistic style of portraying infants in natural, organic settings. |

Niue's licensing arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made it one of the most prolific issuers of commemorative silver in the Pacific, generating revenue through seigniorage on coins that will never circulate on the island's roughly 1,600-person population. KM#671 is one of dozens of issues struck under this arrangement in 2012 alone.
