| Obverse description | The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II occupies the upper portion of the oval field, accompanied by a depiction of the open 'Spring Flowers' Fabergé Egg (created ca. 1899–1903), shown displaying its concealed surprise of a miniature basket bearing a bouquet of anemones. The legend around the field reads 'NIUE ISLAND ELIZABETH II 1 DOLLAR 2021 Ag 999', with the Mint of Poland monogram 'mw' also present. The overall design integrates the royal portrait with the celebrated Imperial Easter egg in a refined, collector-oriented composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a faithful and highly detailed rendition of the Imperial Fabergé 'Blue Striped Enamel Egg', presented upright on its decorative gold-toned pedestal stand. The egg is richly ornamented with alternating vertical blue enamel and gold-toned stripes, surmounted by a gold imperial crown finial, and adorned with delicate hanging tassel motifs along the upper band. The surrounding oval field is rendered in frosted silver with radiating vertical line patterns and scattered floral bell-like ornaments, creating a striking contrast with the gilt and colored centerpiece. The inscription 'Imperial Fabergé Eggs' appears in the lower exergue area in elegant serif lettering. The combination of selective gold gilding, vivid blue enamel coloring, and proof finish lends the design exceptional visual depth. |
