| Reverse description | Central depiction of SpongeBob SquarePants, the animated cartoon character, shown facing forward with his characteristic large round eyes and broad smile, holding a spatula in one hand. The figure fills the majority of the square field and is rendered in fine engraved relief against a mirror-polished background. Two decorative scrolling banners frame the design: the upper banner bears the legend IN SPONGEBOB and the lower banner reads WE TRUST. A pineapple motif appears in each of the four corners within a small circular cartouche, referencing the character's fictional undersea home. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty bullion issues since the early 2000s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory with independent minting authority. The SpongeBob series was produced in partnership with Viacom and the New Zealand Mint — one of dozens of pop-culture licenses Niue has issued under Elizabeth II's effigy to generate revenue, given the island's population of roughly 1,600 and negligible domestic coin demand.
KM#694 is a one-troy-ounce fine silver piece that never circulated and was never intended to. Collector attrition on these novelty issues tends to be high; packaging condition often matters more to buyers than the coin itself.
