| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of Kiki and Lala, the twin characters from the Sanrio Little Twin Stars franchise, rendered in the original kawaii illustration style. Kiki, the boy twin with light blue hair, is shown on the right holding a blue elephant plush toy and a cloud-shaped bag, while Lala, the girl twin with pink hair, stands on the left holding a pink bear plush toy and a star-shaped yellow bag. Both characters are dressed in white robes and face forward with cheerful expressions. The shaped flan follows the outline of the characters' oversized rounded heads, giving the coin its distinctive non-circular form. The entire design is applied in vivid polychrome color printing over the mirror-polished silver surface. |

| Additional information |
Kiki and Lala — known in Japan as the Little Twin Stars — are a Sanrio character pair introduced in 1975, predating Hello Kitty's commercial dominance and maintaining a devoted following across East Asia for nearly five decades. Niue has become the issuer of choice for Sanrio-licensed numismatic releases largely because its sovereign status allows legal tender designation while its treasury bears none of the production risk, the entire program being driven by third-party distributors targeting the collector gift market rather than any monetary function.
