| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of Spider-Man in his classic red and blue costume, shown in a dynamic crouching pose as if mid-leap, set against an engraved urban cityscape background. The MARVEL logo appears in a rectangular cartouche to the right of the figure. The legend 50 YEARS OF SPIDER-MAN arcs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative date range 1963-2013 is inscribed in the lower field. Small decorative elements punctuate the border on either side of the central design. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated a cottage industry in licensed pop-culture coinage since the early 2000s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory with full ISO-recognized currency rights to issue collectibles that function as legal tender while serving an entirely philatelic market. This Marvel series, produced under a licensing arrangement, was struck by the New Zealand Mint on Niue's behalf.
Silver-plated copper rather than sterling — worth noting for long-term storage, as base-metal bleed through worn plating is a documented issue with this production type.
