| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color depiction of Miles "Tails" Prower, the iconic two-tailed fox character from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, rendered in classic animated style against a white field with decorative light-blue swirling lines. Tails is shown seated in a relaxed pose, waving cheerfully, with his characteristic orange fur and white-tipped twin tails prominently displayed. A circular red-and-blue 30th Anniversary logo featuring a silhouette of Sonic the Hedgehog appears in the upper right field. The bold stylized legend SONIC THE HEDGEHOG™ is inscribed in the lower field in the franchise's signature typestyle. The inscription 30th ANNIVERSARY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG™ completes the commemorative reverse design. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing hub for pop-culture bullion since the early 2000s, issuing legal tender coinage under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while retaining the right to contract with private mints and IP holders directly. This piece is part of a broader Sonic the Hedgehog series produced under license from Sega, whose character roster — Miles "Tails" Prower introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 1992 — has been a recurring subject for themed bullion programs targeting collector-investors rather than general circulation.
Mintage figures for individual characters in this Niue series vary, but the program as a whole has leaned on limited runs to sustain secondary market premiums.
