| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue set within a circular raised disc, centrally positioned on the coin. The seal is surrounded by a wreath-style decorative border and bears the legend 'PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE' along the upper arc and 'ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI' along the lower arc. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' appears above the seal, and the year of issue '2023' is inscribed below in the exergue area. The circular disc is superimposed on the Moomintroll-shaped coin body, with the copyright mark '©MC™' appearing in the field. |

Niue's licensing arrangements with Finland's Moomin Characters Oy have produced a long-running series of collectible issues struck under the Pacific island's monetary agreement with New Zealand. At 0.031 g of .9999 gold, this falls into the "mini gold" category — a format popularized in the early 2010s and now ubiquitous among boutique mint programs targeting collector markets rather than any circulation function. Charles III's accession in September 2022 makes this among the earliest Niue issues to carry his effigy under that licensing arrangement.
