| Reverse description | Full-color icon-style depiction of Saint John the Evangelist, shown as an elderly bearded figure draped in green and red robes, seated and writing in a book or scroll. His evangelist symbol, the eagle, perches to his right and appears to guide his hand. A prominent gilded halo rendered in raised relief encircles the saint's head against the dark field, accentuating the devotional character of the composition. A Church Slavonic inscription appears to the left of the figure identifying the subject. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction since 1987, leveraging a treaty arrangement with New Zealand that permits it to produce legal tender while outsourcing virtually all monetary functions. The island's actual population has hovered around 1,600 people for decades, making its prolific commemorative output — dozens of issues annually — entirely a collector market exercise with no domestic circulation function whatsoever.
KM#524 is one of hundreds of themed bullion-adjacent pieces produced under licensing agreements with third-party minting programs during this period.
