| Reverse description | Full-color photographic depiction of the central characters Shurik and Nina from the celebrated 1967 Soviet comedy film 'Kidnapping, Caucasian Style' (Кавказская пленница), set against a mountainous Caucasian landscape. Shurik is portrayed to the left wearing glasses, with a donkey visible behind him, while Nina appears to the right in a red dress. In the lower portion of the field, a sculptural silver relief depicts a dynamic scene of figures in struggle. The Cyrillic title 'КАВКАЗСКАЯ ПЛЕННИЦА' appears in bold lettering at the upper portion of the colored design. |

Niue has operated a prolific licensed bullion and commemorative program since the 1990s, contracting private mints to produce collector issues sold almost entirely outside the island's roughly 1,600-person population. This piece honors Shurik and Nina, characters from Leonid Gaidai's 1965 Soviet comedy Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures — a film that remains one of the most-watched in Russian cinema history, with official Soviet viewership figures exceeding 69 million in its first year of release.
