| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III after the portrait by sculptor Justin Clark, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The king is depicted as a mature bare-headed bust with naturalistically detailed hair. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III above and to the left, with NIUE 2026 at the top and 100 DOLLARS to the right, all separated by raised bullet points. The specification legend 1oz 9999 GOLD appears along the lower arc, also punctuated by bullets, and the engraver's initials JC appear below the truncation. |

Niue's revenue from numismatic licensing has long outpaced anything its 1,600-odd residents could generate through conventional trade, and the island's arrangement with New Zealand — which handles its foreign affairs and defence — gives it the unusual position of issuing coins bearing the British monarch's effigy while operating essentially as a self-governing collector-coin factory. This particular piece belongs to the ongoing Australian wildlife series that has proven reliably commercial across the precious metals market.
Sugar gliders are marsupials, not rodents, despite appearances — a distinction Australian naturalists spent considerable effort establishing in the 19th century.
