| Obverse description | Central motif features the Public Seal of Niue — a crowned oval badge encircled by a wreath of laurel branches, surmounted by a royal crown — set within a large ship's wheel rendered in high relief. The six spokes of the wheel divide the surrounding field into panels, each depicting a mythological marine creature: two mermaids holding tridents, two sea-creatures (fish-tailed figures), a crab at top centre, and a squid at upper right, all set against a stylised wave border encircling the rim. The legend '1oz 999 SILVER' and 'ONE DOLLAR' flank the seal in arched form, with 'ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI' inscribed below the seal badge and the date '2025' beneath, while 'NIUE' appears in bold relief at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of a siren — a menacing half-woman, half-fish mythological creature with pointed ears, flowing hair, and a scaled fish tail — shown in three-quarter view facing right, cradling a human skull in her elongated hands and gazing upon it with a brooding expression. Her body is rendered with extraordinary sculptural detail, featuring textured fish scales on the lower body and sharp, claw-like fingers, conveying an ominous and predatory character. Dynamic flowing drapery and wing-like appendages extend into the background field, filling the composition with movement. The legend 'THE SIREN' is inscribed in bold serif lettering across the upper field. |
