| Obverse description | The obverse features the third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Raphael David Maklouf, presented as a cameo effigy in right-facing profile within a raised oval cartouche set against a textured field. The Queen is depicted wearing the Royal Diadem crown, a drop earring, and a draped neckline, rendered in fine high-relief detail with an antiqued finish. The surrounding border carries the legend 'NIUE ISLAND' to the left, '2017' at the top, 'ELIZABETH II' to the right, and '1 DOLLAR' at the base, all in raised Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed outback scene in high relief with an antiqued finish, showing an Australian tracker crouching in the foreground in a wide-brimmed hat, closely examining the rocky ground. In the middle distance, a kangaroo with a joey stands alert among sparse desert scrub and rocky terrain beneath a dramatic sky. Three large elongated oval shapes, representing stylised kangaroo footprints or tracks, dominate the upper field. The arc inscription 'TRACKER • KANGAROO' runs along the upper-left border, with the purity mark 'Ag .999' inscribed vertically to the right of centre. |
