| Reverse description | The reverse presents a completely plain, mirror-polished field shaped in the iconic 8-bit pixel art silhouette of PAC-MAN, with the stepped, angular outline faithfully reproducing the classic video game character as seen from the side with an open mouth facing right. The highly reflective surface is unadorned, allowing the distinctive PAC-MAN contour itself to serve as the sole design element. The pixelated stepped edge profile is precisely struck and forms the coin's defining artistic feature. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as one of the more commercially aggressive issuers in the commemorative bullion market, licensing pop-culture intellectual property through the New Zealand Mint to generate revenue for a Pacific island nation with a population under 2,000. This particular release is part of a broader Bandai Namco-licensed program. PAC-MAN itself debuted in Japanese arcades in May 1980, becoming the highest-grossing arcade game in history within two years and the first game to achieve genuine mainstream crossover outside the dedicated gaming demographic.
Mintage on colored novelty issues from this program is typically capped in the low thousands.
