| Obverse description | The central field features the circular Public Seal of Niue, surrounded by decorative snowflakes scattered throughout the field. Around the seal, stylized silhouettes of winter sports athletes — cross-country skiers and a biathlete — are depicted in dynamic poses at various positions across the coin's surface. The curved legend 'TEN DOLLARS' arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the inscriptions 'ATUA', 'NIUE TUKULAGI', and the date '2026' appear below the central seal. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a reliable vehicle for third-party commemorative programs since the 1990s, with the New Zealand Treasury administering the arrangement that allows international minting houses to issue legal tender under Niue's authority. The actual connection to Niue ends at the legal fiction — these coins are designed, marketed, and distributed entirely outside the island.
The Winter Olympics tie-in points toward Milano-Cortina 2026, the first Winter Games hosted by Italy since Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956.
