| Reverse description | A full-color depiction of Lightning McQueen, the anthropomorphic red racing car from Disney·Pixar's 'Cars' franchise, rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel and positioned facing left in a three-quarter view at center field. The number '95' appears on the car's bodywork and the 'Lightyear' tire brand is visible on the front wheel. In the background, rendered in uncolored relief, is a rocky desert landscape with a wooden signpost reading 'RADIATOR SPRINGS — Leaving So Soon?'. The Disney·Pixar 'Cars' logo, incorporating a stylized red shield emblem, appears in the upper portion of the field. The inscription '1 oz 999 Fine Silver © Disney/Pixar' runs along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the more prolific issuers of licensed collector coinage, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to enter bullion and numismatic markets well beyond its actual economy. This piece is part of a broader Disney-Pixar licensing arrangement that produced dozens of issues across multiple Pacific island jurisdictions in the 2010s. The program was commercially driven from the outset, with mintage controlled by the distributor rather than any monetary authority of meaningful scale.
