| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately detailed antiqued silver border encircling the central clear polymer dome filled with suspended 24-carat gold particles. The surrounding annular field is richly engraved with a frieze of ancient Egyptian imagery, including a pharaoh's sarcophagus mask, the Eye of Horus, a scarab beetle with outstretched wings, a mummified figure, a seated Anubis, hieroglyphic cartouches, and a winged Isis figure rendered in low relief at the lower centre. Stylised zigzag borders separate the outer decorative register from the polymer insert. The legend '2oz 9999 SILVER' is inscribed at the base of the inner border, flanked by the Perth Mint mintmark 'P' to the left and the designer's initials 'AH' to the right. |

| Additional information |
Part of a small series produced by the Perth Mint using a proprietary casting technique that suspends real 24-carat gold particles within a clear polymer resin layer over the coin's surface — a process the mint developed in-house and has deployed across only a handful of releases. The gold particles are not applied post-strike; they are fixed within the polymer during production, making each example genuinely unique in the distribution of its flake pattern.
Niue provides the legal tender authority. The two-ounce fine silver weight places it firmly in the bullion-collectible crossover category the Perth Mint has aggressively pursued since the early 2010s.
