| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modelled by engraver Jody Clark, occupying the central field against a deeply toned, darkened background. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and facial features. Surrounding the effigy, the circular legend reads 'CHARLES III · NIUE 2025 · ONE DOLLAR' along the upper and right periphery, with '· 1oz 999 SILVER ·' inscribed along the lower arc, all separated by raised bullet points. The engraver's initials 'JC' appear below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, gold-gilded coiled snake — the zodiacal symbol of the Chinese Year of the Snake — dominates the central field, depicted in dynamic high relief with meticulously engraved scales and a forked tongue extended from its raised head. The serpent is surrounded by luxuriant orchid blossoms and foliage, also rendered in gold gilding, set against a darkened, ruthenium-plated background that creates a dramatic two-tone contrast. To the left of the composition, the Chinese character for snake, '蛇', is inscribed within a recessed square cartouche in the field. The overall design combines Eastern iconographic tradition with a richly detailed naturalistic style. |
