| Obverse description | The obverse is designed in the form of a stylized postage stamp with perforated edges, featuring in its central field a depiction of a postal cart from the 1920s and a post horn, set within the outlined shape of the Second Polish Republic. The surrounding legend reads '2016 HISTORY OF POLISH STAMPS NIUE ISLAND 1 DOLLAR' along with the mint mark 'mw', engraver's initials 'IRB', 'ELIZABETH II', and fineness designation 'Ag 999'. In the lower left corner of the coin's field, outside the stamp design, appears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coin replicates the aesthetic of a philatelic item, integrating numismatic and postal design traditions. Color printing is applied to enhance the stamp motif. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces, in full color, a stamp with a face value of 10 Kronen, originally an Austro-Hungarian imperial postal issue overprinted for use by the newly established Polish postal service in 1919. The stamp design features an ornate, symmetrical floral and foliate framework in the imperial style, with the central area bearing a bold overprint reading 'POCZTA POLSKA' in large capital letters. The denomination '10' appears prominently at the lower center, flanked by the abbreviations 'KRO' and 'NEN'. The surrounding circular legend reads 'KAISERLICHE · KÖNIGLICHE · ÖSTERREICHISCHE · POST' and 'POCZTA POLSKA KRO 10 NEN 1919'. Below the stamp motif, a partial envelope and a circular postmark dated '10-01-1919' are depicted in the lower field, evoking the historical context of early Polish postal administration. |
