| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed portrait of Pope Leo XIV shown from the waist upward, facing slightly forward, vested in ornate papal vestments including an embroidered stole and cassock, with his hands clasped before him and a fisherman's ring visible on his right hand. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail capturing the texture of the liturgical garments. The circular legend arcing around the portrait reads LEO XIV P.M. to the left and ANNO I MMXXV to the right, with the papal motto IN ILLO UNO UNUM inscribed in two lines across the inner field flanking the figure. An engraver's initial monogram appears at the lower right of the design. |

| Additional information |
Pope Leo XIV, elected in May 2025, is the first American-born pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church — born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago. Niue has issued papal commemoratives before, but the speed of this strike suggests it was authorized within weeks of the conclave's conclusion.
