| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing bust of King Charles III set against an elaborately engraved geometric guilloche field of interlocking floral motifs rendered in blackened relief, framed by a beaded inner border and a dotted outer border. The legend CHARLES III NIUE TEN DOLLARS arcs around the upper periphery in bold raised Latin capitals. Below the portrait, the inscription Ag 999 5 oz 2026 appears in stylised script, recording the metal purity, weight, and year of issue. The engraver's initials JC appear in the lower field to the right of the bust truncation. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, gold-gilt coiled serpent dominates the centre of the field, its finely rendered overlapping scales executed in high relief with selective gold plating contrasting against the darkened blackened silver background. The snake's head rises to the top of the design, its eyes set with small black crystals, while three faceted green crystal gemstones — two tear-drop shaped and one circular — are inlaid within the coils. The surrounding field features deeply recessed, stylised acanthus-leaf and flame motifs in a symmetrical decorative arrangement, all framed by a smooth raised rim. |
