| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and facial features, after the portrait by Joel Coins. The surrounding legend reads CHARLES III at the left, NIUE 2025 at the top, and ONE DOLLAR at the right, all separated by raised bullet points. Below the portrait, along the lower arc, the inscription 1oz 999 SILVER appears flanked by bullet points, with the engraver's initials JC incuse beneath the truncation. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the frosted devices. |

| Additional information |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made the island one of the most prolific coin-issuing territories in the world relative to its population of roughly 1,600 people — none of whom use these coins in daily commerce. The program exists entirely for the collector market, with Niue licensing its monetary authority to fund government operations.
Charles III succeeded to the throne in September 2022 following the death of Elizabeth II, making 2025 issues among the earlier years of his coinage portrait cycle.
