The Hawksbill turtle is one of the two primary turtle species found in Fiji, a South Pacific island nation. While these turtles are widely distributed across tropical regions worldwide, they are critically endangered, largely due to human fishing activities.

Taku, a representative of the species, typically grows to about one metre in length and weighs around 80 kilograms, though the heaviest recorded individual reached 127 kilograms.

The obverse of the 2024 Silver New Zealand $5 Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins features a portrait of King Charles III by Jody Clark in left-profile relief, lacking a crown.

The reverse side of the 2024 2 oz Silver Hawksbill Turtle Coins displays a striking image of the hawksbill turtle. These turtles are easily recognized by the overlapping scutes on their shells, which create a distinctive serrated, saw-like edge. They also have a pointed head, a flattened body, and a beak-shaped mouth specially adapted for feeding on sponges.
