| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an allegorical female figure representing Justice, rendered in a classically inspired, Renaissance-influenced style reminiscent of Botticelli. The reclining draped figure, adorned with bracelets, reclines gracefully across the field with flowing long hair cascading around her, her right hand raised holding a strawberry. The background is divided between a deep matte black field to the left and a burnished mirror field to the right, with elaborate Art Nouveau scrollwork framing the composition throughout. Clusters of highly detailed, naturalistic strawberries on vines fill the upper right of the field. The Arabic word عدل, meaning Justice, is inscribed in the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has functioned as a collector-coin platform for the New Zealand Mint since the 1990s, issuing bullion and numismatic pieces under its name while having essentially no independent monetary infrastructure of its own. The arrangement is straightforward: Niue licenses its legal tender status to the mint, which handles everything else.
Charles III coinage began appearing from various Commonwealth-affiliated issuers almost immediately following the Queen's death in September 2022, with the New Zealand Mint among the fastest to market.
