| Obverse description | An elaborate baroque-style composition centred on the circular Public Seal of Niue, depicting a coconut palm with crossed swords below and the legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE around the circumference, with a ribbon below inscribed ATUA / NIUE TUKULAGI. The seal is flanked by two rampant winged griffins seated atop ornate plinths, with the name ALBRECHT on the left plinth and DÜRER on the right, referencing the master engraver. A royal crown surmounts the elaborate scrollwork canopy at the top of the design. The circular legend reads NIUE to the left and 2026 to the right, with 5OZ 999 SILVER and 10 DOLLARS inscribed along the inner border, and Albrecht Dürer's monogram cartouche prominently displayed at the base of the composition. |

| Reverse description | High-relief three-dimensional rendering of Albrecht Dürer's celebrated woodcut 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' (c. 1498), depicting the four riders charging dynamically from right to left across the field. The horsemen represent Conquest (with bow), War (with sword), Famine (holding scales), and Death (as a gaunt skeletal figure), all mounted on galloping horses that trample the fallen beneath their hooves. An angel descends from clouds in the upper left, while Dürer's interlinked monogram appears in a roundel in the upper right field. The scene is rendered with exceptional sculptural detail faithful to the original woodcut composition, capturing the dramatic energy and apocalyptic terror of Dürer's masterwork. The legend THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE is inscribed along the lower portion of the coin in an arc. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for international bullion and collector programs since the 1990s, lending its authority to series it has no organic historical connection to. The four-horsemen subject has been visited repeatedly by mints across multiple issuing territories over the past two decades, making this a crowded collector category rather than a singular release.
At 155.5 g, this is a five-troy-ounce format — common for high-relief showpiece rounds aimed at the stacking and thematic collector market simultaneously.
