| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue rendered in high relief at the center of the field, depicting a stylized uto (breadfruit plant) within a circular border of traditional zigzag patterning, flanked by a wreath of decorative leaf-and-diamond motifs. Two crossed native spears appear below the seal, with a ribbon scroll bearing the Niuean motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. A royal crown surmounts the entire composition. The denomination TEN DOLLARS arcs along the upper legend, while the date 2023 is inscribed along the lower rim. |

Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint since the 1990s, issuing legal tender under its sovereignty for collectibles that have no circulation intent whatsoever. This Marvel series piece is struck under a long-running agreement between the New Zealand Mint and Disney-owned Marvel Entertainment, with Niue's name on the coin functioning essentially as a jurisdictional formality.
Charles III's effigy appeared on New Zealand Mint issues beginning in 2023 following the death of Elizabeth II in September 2022 — making this among the earlier mass-market collector coins to carry his portrait.
