| Reverse description | High-relief antiqued depiction of the biblical scene from the Gospel of John in which Jesus stands centrally, robed and long-haired, addressing a kneeling woman brought before him by a group of accusers shown to the left. The composition is rendered in an engraving-inspired style with deeply textured garments and ground, capturing the dramatic confrontation with multiple figures in the background. The legend 'CAST THE FIRST STONE' is inscribed vertically along the upper right border of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the "Biblical Scenes" series issued through the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue, which has functioned since the 1990s as a legal tender vehicle for commemorative programs with no meaningful connection to domestic circulation. The "Cast the First Stone" episode — drawn from John 8:1–11 — is one of the most textually contested passages in the New Testament; most biblical scholars consider it a later interpolation absent from the earliest Greek manuscripts.
