| Reverse description | The central field depicts Mickey Mouse standing to the right and embracing a stylised dog rendered in an ornamental lunar New Year artistic style, both figures surrounded by decorative floral motifs. The Chinese character 狗 (meaning 'dog') appears in red colour relief in the upper left field, referencing the Year of the Dog in the Chinese zodiac. The inscription '1 oz 999 Fine Silver © Disney' is engraved along the lower periphery of the field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative silver issues since the 1990s, contracting its sovereign mint authority to third-party producers targeting the collector bullion market. This Chinese Lunar series piece is one of dozens issued under that arrangement — the New Zealand territory itself has no meaningful connection to the Chinese calendar tradition, and the coin's Niue attribution is essentially a legal convenience.
