| Obverse description | Rectangular format with rounded corners. The upper portion of the obverse features a full-color reproduction of Claude Monet's painting 'Woman with a Parasol' (1875), depicting a standing female figure holding a green parasol against a windswept sky, rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel. In the lower left corner, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appears in relief against a mirrored field. The legend 'NIUE ISLAND' runs vertically along the left border, with the denomination '1 DOLLAR', date '2010', and the inscription 'ELIZABETH II' positioned in the lower right field and along the bottom edge respectively. The mint mark 'mw' appears below the Queen's portrait. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative silver issues since the 1990s, contracting with private minting firms to produce themed collector pieces far removed from any domestic monetary need. This Monet dollar is one of dozens of such issues, produced under arrangement with the New Zealand Mint and aimed squarely at the thematic collector market rather than circulation.
Monet died in 1926, placing his work firmly in the public domain by 2010 — a fact that makes art-themed coinage of this type legally straightforward and commercially attractive.
