| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed high-relief depiction of the Great Wall of China, showcasing a prominent stone watchtower with a traditional Chinese pagoda-style roof at centre right, connected by the characteristic crenellated battlements of the wall which wind dramatically across hilly, tree-covered terrain into the distance. The brickwork of the wall and tower is meticulously rendered, conveying depth and perspective through skilled engraving. The curved legend GREAT WALL OF CHINA arcs along the lower left portion of the field in spaced capital letters. The surrounding field is polished to a mirror proof finish, contrasting with the finely detailed relief of the architectural subject. |

| Additional information |
Niue has functioned as a licensing vehicle for the Perth Mint and other producers since the 1990s, its nominal sovereignty providing a convenient issuing authority for bullion and collector pieces that have no economic connection to the island's roughly 1,500 residents. This coin is effectively a Perth Mint product wearing Niuean paperwork.
The Great Wall series has run across multiple monarchs — Elizabeth II versions preceded this Charles III issue — making the transition a restriking opportunity rather than a numismatic event in its own right.
