| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation. To the left of the effigy, occupying the left half of the field, is a high-relief depiction of a multi-tiered birthday cake topped with a crown and surrounded by decorative stars and floral motifs. The legend 'NIUE 2020' arcs along the upper border, with 'Ag 999' inscribed in the upper field adjacent to the effigy. The denomination 'one dollar' is rendered in bold stylized lettering across the lower field, while 'ELIZABETH II' appears as a caption below the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate celebratory composition in antiqued high relief, dominated by the inscription 'Happy Birthday' in flowing script across the center of the field. The background is filled with intricately engraved scrollwork, floral arabesques, balloons, and decorative foliage arranged in a dense, ornamental pattern. At the upper center, a large decorative bow in relief serves as the focal point above the lettering. At the lower center, a color-printed circular inset depicts a teal birthday cake adorned with lit candles set against a vibrant red background, providing a vivid contrast to the otherwise monochromatic antiqued silver surfaces. The overall design is framed by the reeded edge, with no additional border legend. |
