| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized hawksbill turtle rendered in bold Polynesian-inspired decorative style occupies the central field, its carapace adorned with intricate swirling spiral motifs and its flippers outstretched as if gliding through water. Surrounding the turtle are engraved circular air bubbles of varying sizes scattered across the mirror-polished field, evoking an underwater environment. A small floral ornament appears to the left of the turtle. The word 'TURTLE' is inscribed in large, bold letters arcing across the upper left portion of the field. The fineness inscription '1 oz 999 FINE SILVER' is engraved in small letters along the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has produced dozens of wildlife-themed bullion issues, most of which track spot silver almost exactly and circulate purely as collector vehicles. The Hawksbill Turtle issue sits in that category without apology.
The hawksbill itself is listed as critically endangered under IUCN criteria, with global nesting populations estimated to have declined over 80% in the past century — a figure that lends the subject matter more weight than the typical Pacific island wildlife series.
