| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and NIUE ISLAND along the right, with the date 2013 appearing at the top between two floral ornaments. Below the effigy, the inscription 1/24th of 24 Dollars is incused along the lower rim, denoting this coin's place within the complete 24-piece Divine Comedy series. |

| Reverse description | Rectangular proof planchet bearing a full-colour reproduction of Gustave Doré's engraving from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, depicting a crouching robed figure viewed from behind with legs and bare feet visible, rendered in warm sepia tones against a background of densely hatched lines evoking the atmosphere of the Inferno. The composition fills the entire reverse field without additional legend or border inscription, allowing the artwork to serve as the sole decorative element. This panel constitutes the seventeenth segment of a 24-part mosaic series reproducing Doré's celebrated illustrations. |
