| Reverse description | Central colorized depiction of a large ocean liner with distinctive red-and-black funnels transiting the Panama Canal, rendered against a partially colorized aerial map of the Canal waterway flanked by tropical vegetation including palm trees and banana leaves in high relief. In the lower field, a struck medallion in relief depicts three allegorical figures in classical dress engaged in a handshake, surrounded by tropical produce and conch shells. The curved legend 100 YEARS PANAMA CANAL arcs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the 1990s, leveraging a Crown dependency arrangement with New Zealand that grants it the legal right to produce legal tender while outsourcing monetary policy entirely. The Panama Canal series sits within a broader wave of themed collector issues that Niue mint agreements — primarily through the New Zealand Mint — produced aggressively during the 2010s.
The canal itself was transferred from U.S. to Panamanian control on December 31, 1999, after nearly a century of American administration following the 1903 Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty.
