| Obverse description | The obverse bears the uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, as designed by Jody Clark, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. The portrait is set against a mirror-polished field. The legend arcs around the periphery, reading 'CHARLES III' at the left, 'NIUE 2025' above, and 'ONE DOLLAR' at the right, with raised dot separators between elements. The lower portion of the legend reads '1oz 999 SILVER', flanked by raised dots, and the engraver's initials 'JC' appear in small incuse letters beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing issuer for decades, contracting its sovereign mint rights to private bullion producers while remaining a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. This piece falls squarely in that commercial tradition. Cook's 1774 visit to Niue ended with his crew being repelled from shore by the island's inhabitants — earning it the name "Savage Island" on British charts, a designation that persisted well into the twentieth century.
