His portrait is a reminder of the fundamental ethical values that still apply to the practice of medicine today, embodying the principles of the Hippocratic Oath. Next to the portrait is the emblem of the issuing country Niue, a micro-state associated with New Zealand, known for issuing collectible coins of a high artistic standard. Below the portrait is the coin's denomination, which is 2 New Zealand dollars.
