| Obverse description | Within a raised circular border set against the dark triangular field, the fourth right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is depicted in fine relief, wearing the Royal Diadem. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'NIUE ISLAND' to the upper right, with the denomination '1 DOLLAR' inscribed to the right. The date '2020' appears below the portrait in the lower portion of the circular panel. The designer's initials 'IRB' are incused below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed depiction of Cleopatra VII fills the triangular field in the style of ancient Egyptian relief art. The central motif is a large profile bust of Cleopatra facing right, adorned with an elaborate headdress with radiating solar elements and a prominent earring. Surrounding the central bust, the field is densely populated with smaller Egyptian figural scenes rendered in hierarchical scale, including standing and kneeling figures, hieroglyphic cartouches, and architectural elements evoking pharaonic iconography. A small pyramidal form crowns the apex of the composition. The entire design is executed in gold-plated high relief with no inscriptions on this face. |
