| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, rendered in high relief after the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim and NIUE ISLAND along the upper right rim, both separated by a beaded border. The inscription 1 DOLLAR 2015 runs along the lower rim, with the fineness mark Ag 999 and the engraver's initials IRB appearing in the lower field flanking the portrait's truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for themed collector coinage since the 1990s, effectively leasing its sovereign issuing authority to external minting programs. This Chopin dollar is one of dozens of Polish cultural subjects struck under that arrangement, typically produced by the Mint of Poland in Warsaw — an institution with a direct national stake in commemorating the composer.
Chopin died in Paris in 1849, almost certainly of tuberculosis complicated by pericarditis, and his heart was smuggled back to Warsaw in a cognac-filled urn by his sister Ludwika — where it remains, sealed inside a pillar of the Holy Cross Church.
