| Reverse description | The reverse depicts three women in traditional national folk costumes representing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, shown in bust form facing the viewer in a dignified, closely grouped composition. Below the figures, the national flags of Estonia (blue, black, and white), Latvia (dark red and white), and Lithuania (yellow, green, and red) are rendered in applied color, their ribbons flowing gracefully across the lower field. The encircling legend names the Baltic Way in Estonian (BALTI KETT), Latvian (BALTIJAS CEĻŠ), and Lithuanian (BALTIJOS KELIAS), flanked by the commemorative years 1989 and 2024 separated by raised dots. |

| Additional information |
The Baltic Way — the human chain stretching roughly 675 kilometers through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on August 23, 1989 — was timed deliberately to mark the 50th anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the secret protocol that assigned all three states to Soviet occupation. An estimated two million people linked hands. Lithuania declared independence the following March, the first Soviet republic to do so.
The kilo format in .999 silver at 100mm is a well-established vehicle for commemorative issues from Niue, whose government has operated a prolific numismatic licensing program for decades despite having no direct connection to the subjects it strikes.
