| Reverse description | A powerfully rendered rearing unicorn depicted in high sculptural relief, shown in a dynamic galloping pose facing left with its flowing mane and tail dramatically windswept. The mythical creature's single spiralling horn is clearly visible above the forelock. The legend UNICORNS is inscribed in bold letters along the lower field, with the engraver's monogram FM positioned to the right of centre. The entire inner design is set against a deeply mirrored proof field, and the coin is encircled by the same raised Greek-key meander border found on the obverse. |

Niue's relationship with commemorative silver coinage is essentially a licensing arrangement — the island's monetary authority lends its name and nominal face value to issues produced entirely for the collector market, with the New Zealand dollar serving all actual transactional needs. This particular release belongs to a broader Tudor Beasts series drawing on the heraldic supporters used during the reigns of Henry VII and his successors, a program that has run across multiple mints and issuers simultaneously, which can complicate provenance for registry collectors.
