| Obverse description | Within a raised circular border set against a frosted square flan, the right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted in high relief, based on the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left of the border, with NIUE and the date 2018 arranged along the upper right. The denomination 1 DOLLAR appears along the lower border, flanked by two raised dots. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust, and the mint mark (mw) is visible to the left. The silver fineness Ag 999 is inscribed in the lower left corner of the square field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's coinage authority has long operated as a vehicle for third-party bullion and commemorative programs, with the island nation's actual fiscal relationship to these issues being essentially administrative. The New Zealand government manages Niue's currency under a free-association arrangement, meaning these dollars are technically legal tender on an island whose entire population could fit inside a modest sports arena.
