| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the crown and facial features, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the truncation. Surrounding the portrait is an ornate border composed of a braided rope motif interspersed with fourteen heraldic shields bearing various Arthurian-associated armorial devices. The legend ELIZABETH II · NIUE ISLAND · 1 DOLLAR · 2021 runs around the inner border in raised Latin lettering, with the Czech Mint mark appearing in the upper field near the portrait. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic battle scene depicting two mounted knights in full armour charging toward each other across a field strewn with fallen weapons and shields, evoking the legendary final conflict between King Arthur and Mordred at the Battle of Camlann. The foreground is scattered with broken lances, swords, and a skull-adorned pommel, while massed ranks of armoured foot soldiers press forward on either flank. In the upper background, a Gothic architectural arch with a decorative rose window provides a majestic backdrop to the central equestrian figures. The legend KING ARTHUR appears at upper right and MORDRED at lower left, both in raised Latin lettering within the field. |
