Her Majesty's effigy was displayed again from 2014 to 2023, and King Charles III debuted in 2024.

The obverse of the 2024 Silver New Zealand $5 Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins features a portrait of King Charles III by Jody Clark in left-profile relief, lacking a crown.

The eye-catching hawksbill turtle can be seen on the reverse of the 2024 2 oz Silver Hawksbill Turtle Coins. These turtles can be identified by their overlapping scutes on their carapace, which gives them a serrated or "saw-like" appearance. They also possess a pointed head, a flattened body, and a beak-like mouth specifically adapted for feeding on sponges.
