| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in high relief with a diademed and elaborately coiffed portrait after the fourth definitive effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley, identified by the engraver's initials IRB below the truncation. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE 2021 to the upper right, with ONE DOLLAR arcing along the right field. The lower arc bears the inscription 1OZ 999 SILVER, all separated by raised dot stops. The coin's antiqued finish imparts a deep grey patina to both field and devices, accentuating the sculptural relief of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features an exceptionally high-relief, close-up portrait of a kangaroo's head dominating the right and lower portion of the field, rendered in fine naturalistic detail with textured fur, a large expressive eye, and prominent ears extending toward the upper field. To the left and background, a scenic outback vignette depicts two additional kangaroos in a rocky landscape — one standing upright and one foraging at ground level — creating a compelling sense of depth and perspective. The inscription KANGAROO appears in raised block lettering along the lower left of the field. The antiqued finish enhances the dramatic contrasts of the multi-layered high-relief design. |
