Silver Ounce 2023 King Charles III Coronation Ceremony, Coin from Niue - detailed information

The obverse of the coin features the official Public Seal of Niue.

It has an inner circle of hiapo designs, representing the fonua (land), within which are stylised designs of a tree, representing life and tagata Niue (the people of Niue), surrounded by an outer circle in the form of a traditional Niuean garland of 14 seashells (representing the 14 villages of Niue), and crowned with St Edward's Crown (of the United Kingdom), representing the sovereign as head of state.

Around above between the two circles, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines (meaning "God, Niue Eternally"), below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).

Around left, the metal content 1oz 999 SILVER (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver); around right, the face value ONE DOLLAR. Around below, the date of issue 2023.

The seal and the surrounding inscriptions are smaller than usual, and are located in the lower part of the obverse.

The rest of the design is dominated by a youthful representation of Queen Elizabeth II during her own coronation in the Westminster Abbey, whose architecture can be seen in the background. Around the rim of a circle surrounding her head, the inscription QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1953 CORONATION.

The reverse design celebrates the investiture, where the monarch is presented with objects representing their power and responsibilities. King Charles III has been depicted with the coronation regalia, wearing St Edward’s Crown, the Supertunica (the Robe Royal), and Coronation Ring. He holds the Sovereign’s Scepter, and the Sovereign’s Orb, a bejeweled golden ball surmounted by a gem-encrusted cross, intended as a reminder that the monarch's power is derived from God. Like the scepter, the orb was created in 1661.

The cross on the orb has been set with a green emerald.

In the background, architectural details of the interior of Westminster Abbey, where British monarchs have traditionally been crowned since 1066.

Around the rim of a circle surrounding the king's head, the inscription KING CHARLES III 2023 CORONATION.
