Ms. Pac-Man has been a classic arcade character ever since her addition to the Pac-Man franchise in the early Eighties. The influential game that features her was similar to the original Pac-Man but elaborated on its design in several ways, and proved to be the highest-grossing arcade game of 1982. Ms. Pac-Man won multiple awards both in its original version and when it was ported to a variety of home gaming consoles, including Videogame of the Year in the Arcade Awards of 1983; it remained a best-selling game many years later and placed fifth on Time’s 50 Best Video Games of All Time list in 2016.
The coin’s reverse side celebrates this extraordinary legacy with the official Ms. Pac-Man 40th Anniversary logo, and a playful image of the character lounging posed at the heart of the design. It’s joined by the inscriptions “1 oz. 999 Fine Silver” and the trademarks for “Ms. PAC-MAN” and “GENEI.”
On the obverse side is the public seal of Niue with the accompanying inscriptions “Two Dollars” and “2021.” Around the rim, it’s decorated with sprites directly from the original video game.
