| Reverse description | Finely detailed high-relief depiction of Moses, robed and barefoot, striding forward in the central field while holding two stone tablets inscribed with Roman numerals I through X representing the Ten Commandments. His right arm is raised with index finger pointing heavenward. A vast multitude of figures fills the middle ground on either side, with a mountainous landscape receding into the background. The legend TEN COMMANDMENTS arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, and the date 2025 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing jurisdiction for themed bullion and collector issues since the 1990s, effectively renting its monetary authority to foreign minting operations — predominantly European — that produce pieces with no circulation function whatsoever. This is one of those. The Ten Commandments framing places it within a long commercial tradition of religious-themed numismatic merchandise aimed at gift markets rather than collectors.
Charles III's effigy appeared on Niue coinage following the accession formalities of 2023, replacing Elizabeth II across the territory's entire output.
