| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted with a diadem and draped bust. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, with NIUE ISLAND inscribed vertically along the right. Below the portrait, the denomination 1 DOLLAR and date 2015 are inscribed along the lower periphery, flanked by decorative bullet stops. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation, with the purity mark Ag 999 struck to the right. The effigy is set within a raised inner border surrounded by a beaded outer rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic three-dimensional silver sculptural figure of a centaur in motion, rising from the lower centre of the field with flowing hair and an arched, muscular form. The background is divided between a colorized depiction of the Centaurus A galaxy (NGC 5128) in the lower portion — showing its characteristic dust lane and active galactic nucleus rendered in deep space hues — and an engraved celestial chart with Latin astronomical notations, orbital arcs, and planetary symbols filling the upper field. A row of stars arcs across the left and right mid-fields. The inscription CENTAURUS A appears in bold relief across the left portion of the design. |
