| Reverse description | A highly detailed, dramatic high-relief depiction of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) breaching the water surface with its jaws open wide, rows of serrated teeth clearly visible, occupying the majority of the field. Dynamic ocean spray and churning waves are rendered in fine detail in the lower portion of the field. The series name OCEAN FIVE arcs along the upper periphery in bold lettering, while the purity and weight designation 2oz Au 999.9 appears along the right field. The mintmark of Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung (LEV) and the date 2022 appear in the lower field, along with the individual edition number from a mintage of 50. |

| Additional information |
Niue's high-denomination bullion and collector gold issues are struck under a longstanding agreement with the New Zealand Mint, which handles production and distribution while Niue provides the legal tender framework — a practical arrangement for a self-governing territory of roughly 1,600 people whose actual economy runs on remittances and postage stamp sales rather than coin circulation.
The KM#5806 attribution places this firmly in the modern collector series rather than any monetary issue. No examples reached circulation, and none were intended to.
