| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Public Seal of Niue at centre, depicting a stylised flowering plant within a circular geometric border, surmounted by the Royal Crown of King Charles III. The seal is flanked on either side by an ornamental wreath of oval and diamond-shaped links. Below the seal, two crossed traditional Niuean paddles appear on a ribbon scroll bearing the legend ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. The denomination TWO DOLLARS is inscribed in an arc above the central device, and the date 2024 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has leveraged its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to mint legal tender collector coins under licensing agreements with major IP holders — a revenue stream that has little to do with monetary policy and everything to do with the global bullion novelty market. The Harry Potter licensing rights, held by Warner Bros., have generated dozens of such issues across multiple mints and jurisdictions since the early 2010s.
Charles III's effigy appears here as head of state of Niue, a formality that dates to the territory's constitutional arrangements rather than any independent numismatic tradition.
