| Reverse description | Dramatic high-relief depiction of Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) mounted on a rearing warhorse at center, clad in Mongol warrior armor with a crested helmet, bearing a decorated round shield and armed with a lance. A golden-gilt sabre is prominently displayed to his left, providing a striking selective gold color application against the antique silver field. An eagle with wings spread soars to the right of the central figure, symbolizing Mongol imperial power. The surrounding field teems with subsidiary figures of armored warriors in combat, with architectural elements including a fortress wall in the background, all rendered in exceptional sculptural relief evoking the conquests of the Mongol Empire. The legend 'CHINGGIS KHAAN' arcs along the upper border of the field. |

| Additional information |
Chinggis Khaan — the Latinized "Genghis Khan" being a Russian-era transliteration that Mongolians actively reject — has become a recurring subject for commemorative silver programs issued through Pacific island jurisdictions with no historical connection to the subject. Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand mint allows it to function essentially as a licensing vehicle for themed bullion series aimed at collectors in Central and East Asia, where demand for Mongolian-subject coins is strong enough to sustain multiple annual releases.
