| Reverse description | A highly detailed, large-scale portrait of a Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) head facing left dominates the central field, rendered with finely engraved feather textures and a sharply delineated hooked beak. In the lower middle ground, the distinctive twin-peaked silhouette of Kriváň — the iconic Slovak mountain in the High Tatras — is depicted against a receding mountain landscape with a treeline at its base. The Czech Mint mark (a crowned CM monogram above MD) appears to the left of the eagle's beak. The upper legend reads · 1oz · Ag 999 and the lower legend SLOVAKIA, both inscribed within the outer border. |

Niue has served as a licensing jurisdiction for bullion and collector issues since the 1990s, its monetary agreement with New Zealand allowing it to authorize coins that circulate legally but are produced entirely for the international collector market. The Golden Eagle series is one of dozens of wildlife-themed programs issued under this arrangement, with production handled off-island by a contracted mint rather than any Niuean authority.
Elizabeth II died in September 2022, making late-dated issues from that year transitional pieces — struck under her effigy but coinciding with the accession of Charles III.
