Obverse description Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and wearing a necklace, occupying the left portion of the field. The portrait is framed by a decorative dotted border arranged in an elliptical form, intertwined with a stylised floral vine motif bearing heart-shaped leaves on the right side of the field. The legend 'NIUE ISLAND · 1 DOLLAR' arcs along the upper rim, with 'ELIZABETH II.' inscribed to the right of the portrait and the date '2015' below the bust. The inscription 'INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE - CZECH REPUBLIC' runs along the lower and left portions of the outer legend. A small mint mark appears below the portrait near the base.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a scene from the Czech traditional Easter folk custom known as 'Vodění Jidáše' (Walking of Judas), a UNESCO-recognised intangible cultural heritage of the Czech Republic. At the left, a tall straw effigy of Judas, bound with rope and decorated with a ribbon bow at its top, dominates the composition. To the right, a group of children in traditional dress surrounds the effigy, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. A decorative border of stylised foliate and eye-shaped motifs encircles the inner design, separated from the rim by a dotted beaded border. The legend 'OBYČEJ VODĚNÍ JIDÁŠE' (The Custom of Walking Judas) is inscribed in a curved arc along the upper right portion of the rim.
