In the obverse design of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Phoenix Coin, the mint highlights a left-profile effigy of King Charles III. This depiction, created by Jody Clark, is the first to represent His Majesty on Niuean coins and captures him in a crownless, dignified manner.

On the reverse of 2025 Niue Gold Phoenix Coins, the phoenix is illustrated in a stunning pose, its elegant plumage flowing with intricate detail. This mythical creature has been a symbol of rebirth across many cultures, often depicted as a majestic bird with extraordinary characteristics. Its feathers typically blaze in shades of red, orange, and gold to evoke the flames of its rebirth, with occasional hints of purples and blues. The phoenix’s long neck, ornate tail, and feathered crest further enhance its ethereal beauty.

Chinese mythology developed its own version of the phoenix, known as the Fenghuang, which evolved independently from Western traditions. Originally representing two separate birds – the feng (male) and huang (female) – they eventually merged into a single creature. The Fenghuang became one of the four celestial creatures in Chinese mythology, representing the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
