| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular silver note-shaped collector coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, set within an ornate guilloche medallion at center. The legend ELIZABETH II appears along the upper border, while NIUE is inscribed at the bottom. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is repeated in the upper-left and lower-right corners, and a circular cartouche in the upper-right corner bears the inscriptions 5g and Ag.999 denoting the coin's weight and fineness. The date 2018 appears in the lower-left corner, and the entire field is decorated with an intricate banknote-style guilloche pattern of repeating hearts and fine-line rosettes, enhancing the currency-note aesthetic of the piece. |

| Additional information |
The Aurora dollar is part of New Zealand Mint's ongoing bullion and collectible program — a private mint operating under license, not a government minting authority, which means these issues circulate legally in Niue rather than New Zealand proper. The KM# 204 reference places it within the Niue-attributed series, where New Zealand Mint has produced licensed coinage since the early 2000s.
