| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, centrally positioned on the square flan with a diagonal two-tone field — polished mirror to the upper left and frosted black to the lower right. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' runs vertically along the left border and 'NIUE ISLAND' vertically along the right border, while '1 DOLLAR' is inscribed along the top edge. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the portrait truncation, with the date '2019' at the lower left and the fineness and weight notation 'Ag 999 1oz' at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Caravaggio's masterpiece 'Boy with a Basket of Fruit' (c. 1593, Galleria Borghese, Rome), rendered in vivid polychrome across the square flan. The composition faithfully depicts a young boy in a white shirt, his shoulder partially bared, holding a wicker basket overflowing with grapes, figs, apples, pomegranates, and foliage against a neutral background. The image is framed by a decorative ornamental border along the coin's edges, integrating the artwork within a formal numismatic presentation. The fine detail of the original Baroque painting is rendered through precision color printing applied over the struck silver surface. |
