Obverse description The obverse features the crowned Public Seal of Niue at centre, depicted as a circular heraldic device surmounted by a royal crown and surrounded by a wreath with the legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE; below the seal, a scroll bears the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI flanked by crossed arrows. The central emblem is set within a stylised orbital or vortex design rendered in concentric rings that evoke a comet's trajectory, with a spacecraft depicted in the upper left quadrant traversing the field. The Czech Mint mark CM appears at upper right. The date 2023 and denomination 1 DOLLAR are inscribed along the lower portion of the field in a bold, slightly italicised legend following the curve of the design.

Reverse description The reverse presents a dramatic, partially coloured depiction of Halley's Comet in deep space. The comet's nucleus, rendered in dark blue and black applied colour, occupies the lower half of the field, its craggy, boulder-strewn surface rising into jagged ice spires and gas jets. A stylised representation of Earth and a smaller celestial body are shown in the upper right, intersected by the comet's trajectory line, while four four-pointed stars are scattered across the background field. The two-line legend HALLEY'S COMET appears in bold relief to the left of centre. An engraver's initials mark is visible at lower right.
