| Obverse description | Central circular recessed field bears the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in tiara, after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, set within a dotted inner border. The legend 'ELIZABETH II · NIUE · FIVE DOLLARS' arcs around the upper portion of the circular device, with the date '2012' positioned below the portrait. The fineness and weight specification '100g 999 FINE SILVER' is inscribed in the lower field of the rectangular flan, outside the circular border. The overall design is struck in proof finish against the plain rectangular silver bar format. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing vehicle for third-party coin programs since the 1990s, with its numismatic output bearing little relationship to its roughly 1,600-person population or its single-currency dependency on New Zealand. This 100-gram silver issue is a product of that arrangement — almost certainly produced and marketed by a European or Australian bullion program using Niue's issuing authority as a legal convenience.
KM#752 places it within a densely catalogued run of Niue devotional and iconographic issues from the early 2010s, a period when the market for large-format religious silver was particularly active among Polish and Eastern European collectors.
