| Reverse description | A powerfully rendered seated lion passant guardant in high relief, wearing a royal crown atop its head, with its right forepaw resting on a heraldic shield bearing a roundel charged with three passant lions, a reference to the Royal Arms of England. In the background, a latticed architectural element and the hilt of a sword are visible to the left, with the inscription 'LION' appearing on a curved banner in the upper left field. The composition combines elements of royal heraldry with dynamic sculptural relief work. |

| Additional information |
Niue's gold bullion program operates under a longstanding arrangement with New Zealand, whose currency Niue officially uses — making these "100 dollar" denominations a legal fiction of sorts, the face value bearing no relationship to either the metal content or the island's actual monetary reality. The transition from Elizabeth II to Charles III across this series required new effigy authorizations from the Royal Mint, briefly interrupting several Commonwealth bullion programs in late 2022 and into 2023.
