| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by engraver Jody Clark, occupying the central field with finely detailed hair and facial features in high relief against a mirror-polished background. A circular legend in the upper field reads '· CHARLES III · NIUE 2026 ·', while the denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed along the right periphery. The lower arc carries the purity and weight specification '· 1oz 999 SILVER ·', and the engraver's initials 'JC' appear beneath the truncation of the portrait. Bullet-point separators punctuate the legend throughout, lending a clean, contemporary typographic treatment to the design. |

| Additional information |
Niue has functioned as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for international collectors since the 1990s, leveraging a 1981 treaty arrangement with New Zealand that permits the island to produce legal tender without operating a domestic monetary system. The coins circulate nowhere and are minted entirely for the numismatic market — a model Niue has refined into one of the Pacific's more productive revenue streams.
Charles III ascended following the death of Elizabeth II in September 2022, triggering a gradual transition across all Commonwealth realms and associated territories. Niue issues bearing his effigy began appearing in 2023.
