Obverse lettering ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND IRB Ag999 · 1 DOLLAR 2017 ·
Reverse description A finely detailed high-relief depiction of the extinct Atlas Bear (Ursus arctos crowtheri) striding left across a rocky foreground, set against a full-color printed background of a mountain landscape with golden grasslands and a blue sky. The scientific name Ursus arctos crowtheri curves along the left rim in an arc. In the upper field, the legend S.O.S TO THE WORLD appears above a globe motif bearing a crosshair overlay and the date 1870, referencing the year of the species' extinction. The colorized background contrasts with the coin's polished silver relief to create a dramatic commemorative composition.
