| Reverse description | A highly detailed close-up portrait of Albus Dumbledore, the celebrated wizard from the Harry Potter series, depicted in three-quarter view occupying the left and central field. He wears a wizard's cap and long robes, with a flowing beard cascading down his chest. His right hand, adorned with rings, extends forward holding a wand. To the right, Fawkes the phoenix is depicted with wings spread, perched behind Dumbledore's shoulder. A decorative stylized initial 'D' appears in low relief to the left of the portrait. The licensing legend is inscribed along the lower periphery of the field. |

Niue has issued legal tender collector coins under licensing agreements with major IP holders since the early 2000s, a revenue arrangement that has little to do with the island's 1,600-person population and everything to do with the numismatic market for branded bullion. This piece is one troy ounce of four-nines gold, placing it squarely in the collectible bullion category rather than the commemorative one — the Wizarding World license doing the commercial work that a sovereign design cannot.
