| Obverse description | The Public Seal of Niue occupies the central field, depicting a stylised flowering plant within a circular ornamental border featuring traditional Niuean geometric patterns. The seal is surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by a wreath of leaves, with two crossed ceremonial paddles below supporting a scroll bearing the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. The denomination 250 DOLLARS arcs along the upper legend, while the year of issue 2023 appears in the lower field. The legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE curves around the upper portion of the central device. |

Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, licensing its name under agreements with New Zealand — which retains responsibility for Niue's defense and foreign affairs — while the coins themselves are invariably produced by external mints, in this case the Perth Mint. The Lunar series tied to the Chinese zodiac calendar commands consistent secondary-market demand across East and Southeast Asian collector networks, which is precisely why small Pacific island jurisdictions keep issuing them.
Charles III's effigy appears on Niue coinage following his accession in September 2022, making 2023 the first full lunar-year issue to bear his portrait rather than Elizabeth II's.
