| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II to the upper left and NIUE to the upper right, with the denomination 1 DOLLAR and date 2021 disposed along the lower arc of the field. The mark Ag 999 appears in the lower left field, and the mint mark is visible to the upper left of the portrait. An elaborate antiqued border composed of relief-engraved fantasy motifs — books, playing card suits, and Wonderland objects — frames the central device. |

| Reverse description | A vividly colored depiction of a young blonde girl — evoking Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — shown in mid-fall through a rabbit hole, rendered in polychrome color printing against an antiqued silver background. The figure wears a blue and yellow ruffled dress with white apron and yellow-striped stockings, her golden curls and blue hair bow spreading outward as she tumbles. An open book and a globe are visible in the lower field, while the surrounding antiqued border is densely populated with high-relief sculptured Wonderland motifs including a flamingo, a top hat, a pocket watch on a chain, playing card suit symbols, bottles, and shelves of books. The composition conveys a dynamic sense of weightless descent into a fantastical world. |
