| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully colored reproduction of the classic Pac-Man arcade game maze, rendered against a black background with blue labyrinthine corridor walls. The iconic yellow Pac-Man character is depicted at center, facing right toward a pair of red cherries. Three ghost antagonists appear within the maze in their distinctive colors — orange (Clyde) near the central ghost house, cyan (Inky) at lower left, and red (Blinky) at lower center — while a pink ghost (Pinky) is positioned at the upper right. Small white pellet dots line the corridors throughout the field, with four large power pellets visible at the corners of the maze. The overall composition faithfully recreates the visual aesthetic of the original 1980 Namco arcade game. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long leased its monetary authority to the bullion and novelty collectibles market, and this piece sits squarely in that tradition. The Pac-Man license is held by Bandai Namco, and the 2023 issue is one of several in a series exploiting the game's enduring commercial recognition — the original arcade cabinet debuted in Japan in May 1980, reaching North American arcades that October through Midway's distribution agreement.
Struck in one troy ounce of .999 silver, the coin's collectible value is driven entirely by the licensing arrangement and secondary market demand, not by any minting rarity.
