The legend ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 1 DOLLAR and date 2014 inscribed along the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a licensing jurisdiction for novelty bullion issues, with the New Zealand government backing its coinage rights under a long-standing arrangement that gives the island nation — population under 2,000 — a surprisingly active mint program. The horseshoe dollar belongs to a broad run of shaped and themed silver pieces produced for the collector market rather than any circulation function.
KM# 1090 appears in limited secondary literature, and mintage figures for this issue are not widely documented.
