| Obverse description | A relief map of Europe in antiquity fills the field, with regional names inscribed across the surface — Germania, Sarmatia, Europa, Pannonia, Italia, and Macedonia — tracing the ancient Amber Route. A mounted warrior figure in the guise of a Germanic or Sarmatian rider occupies the left-center, while a classical male bust in low relief appears at lower left, evoking Roman artistic tradition. The Public Seal of Niue is displayed in the right field, accompanied by the legends ATUA and NIUE TUKULAGI, with crossed spears beneath the seal. The legend AMBER ROUTE arcs prominently along the upper rim, flanked by the date 2026 and the fineness mark Ag 999 mw, while 1 DOLLAR and NIUE ISLAND appear along the lower rim, with ZEPHYRUS inscribed at lower left. |

| Additional information |
Charles III of Hungary — better known to history as Charles IV of Austria — was deposed twice in 1921 in failed attempts to reclaim the Hungarian throne, the second involving an armed loyalist advance on Budapest that ended with his capture and forced exile to Madeira, where he died the following year. The amber insert references the medieval Hungarian royal treasury tradition, though New Zealand Mint's use of the material is a modern commercial device with no direct historical precedent in Hungarian coinage.
