| Reverse description | A finely detailed bust of a horse in three-quarter view dominates the central field, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored background, with a bridle visible and a flowing mane extending to the right. The Chinese character for horse (馬) appears engraved on the horse's chest area. Surrounding the central motif, a ring of twelve gold-coloured horseshoes in colour application encircles the design. The curved legend YEAR OF THE HORSE arcs along the upper left, and the date 2026 appears along the upper right periphery. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing jurisdiction for commemorative coinage since the 1990s, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while retaining nominal face value status. The arrangement allows private mints to produce legal tender pieces at weights and compositions that would be economically absurd in actual circulation — this dollar's silver content alone exceeds its face value by orders of magnitude. The 2026 lunar year begins January 29th.
