| Obverse description | The obverse is styled in the manner of a banknote, featuring the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with diademed and draped bust set within an ornate guilloche cartouche at center. The field is filled with a repeating pattern of the Justice League shield emblem. The legend ELIZABETH II appears above the effigy, NIUE below, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed in the lower-right and upper-left corners. A five-pointed star appears to the left of the portrait, while a circular cartouche at upper right bears the weight and fineness designation 5g Ag.999. The date 2018 is inscribed in the lower-left corner. |

| Additional information |
Niue's legal tender licensing program has been running since the 1990s, allowing foreign mints and private distributors to issue coins under the island's authority in exchange for revenue that dwarfs what any domestic economy could generate. The "Cyborg" dollar belongs to a wave of collector-targeted issues that proliferated through the 2010s, produced almost certainly by a European private mint rather than any New Zealand or Pacific facility.
At 5 grams of .999 silver, it contains roughly a sixth of a troy ounce — a format calibrated more to retail price-point than to any historical weight standard.
