| Obverse description | The central field features the circular Public Seal of Niue, surmounted by a royal crown, depicting a native plant motif within an ornate border, with crossed spears beneath and the legend ATUA / NIUE TUKULAGI on a banner. The denomination legend 1 DOLLAR appears to the left and the fineness mark Ag 999 to the right of the central device. Encircling the entire composition is a continuous double-helix DNA strand rendered in high relief with selective colour application in red and blue-grey tones. The date 2026 is inscribed in the lower field, and the crowned CM mintmark of the Czech Mint appears at the bottom rim. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed anatomical depiction of the human heart occupies the entire field, rendered partly in vibrant polychrome colour and partly in mirror-proof silver relief. The left portion of the heart is shown with vivid applied colour highlighting the myocardium, coronary vessels, aorta, and pulmonary vessels in warm reds, oranges, and contrasting teal-blue tones, while the right portion is left in uncoloured relief to reveal the internal cardiac musculature and ventricular chambers in fine engraved detail. The Latin inscription COR, meaning 'heart', is engraved vertically along the left inner rim. An artist's monogram signature appears in the lower central field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a reliable vehicle for third-party bullion and commemorative programs since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign issuing authority to foreign mints while maintaining a currency union with New Zealand. The arrangement is entirely legal under international numismatic convention but produces coins that will never circulate on the island — Niue's population hovers around 1,600.
Without confirmed mintage figures or an identified striking facility, little more can be said with certainty about this specific issue.
