Details

On the reverse side of the coin, one can admire a splendid chameleon with its long tongue pointing towards a grasshopper lying on a leaf. The chameleon is rich in details: it has zygodactyl feet, perfect for climbing trees, and its typically curled tail is visible, used for grasping or holding objects. The animal is depicted in high relief and features a holographic enamel finish, allowing it to change color, just like in real life.

Tilting the coin and discovering the various color nuances in which the chameleon can transform is fascinating to observe! Additionally, the animal has a bright eye, thanks to a crystal insert that completes the beautiful design! In the background, the antique finish quality is evident, with many different leaves featuring fine lines in relief.

On the obverse side of the coin, one can see the curled tail of the chameleon and, at the top, Queen Elizabeth II. Also depicted are the country of origin 'Niue', the nominal value of '7 dollars', the purity of the coin 'Ag 999' (99.9% pure silver), and finally the year of issue '2021'.
