| Obverse description | Crowned right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend ELIZABETH II · NIUE ISLAND curves along the right periphery, while · 1 DOLLAR · 2021 · runs along the left. The designer's initials IRB appear beneath the portrait truncation, and the Czech Mint mark is visible above. The surrounding border features a decorative frieze of heraldic shields separated by interlaced braided rope, evoking the chivalric Arthurian theme of the series. |
