The reverse design depicts the site clean-up crews at work (liquidators) as viewed through the mask of a hazmat suit.
The obverse features the public seal of Niue and the iconic Pripyat Amusement Park Ferris Wheel, the park having been evacuated after the Chernobyl disaster.
The Chernobyl delivers in a deluxe wood box along with the Certificate of Authenticity.
