| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile with a diadem and wearing a necklace, set within an oval cameo against a deeply mirrored field. The legend 'NIUE ISLAND' appears in a decorative ribbon banner at the top of the square flan, while 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower border. The inscription 'ELIZABETH II' runs vertically along the left side of the portrait, with the date '2010' and the mint mark 'mw' positioned at the lower right of the effigy.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed portrait bust of Frédéric Chopin in three-quarter left-facing view, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. To the right of the portrait, musical manuscript notation — representing one of Chopin's compositions — is engraved across the field in fine detail. In the lower left, the dates '1810-1849' denote the composer's birth and death years, while a facsimile of Chopin's signature appears in the lower right portion of the field. The overall composition commemorates the bicentennial of Chopin's birth and reflects the artistic style characteristic of the Mint of Poland's collector issues. |
