| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted with a girlhood tiara and naturalistically rendered hair. The engraver's initials IRB appear beneath the truncation, and the Czech Mint mark (CM) is visible to the left of the portrait. The surrounding legend reads NIUE ISLAND to the left and ELIZABETH II to the right, with the date 2018 at the top and the denomination 1 DOLLAR at the bottom, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field. Four raised dots punctuate the legend at cardinal intervals, adding a decorative framing element to the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a charming high-relief rendition of Křemílek, the beloved anthropomorphic mole character from the classic Czech animated series created by Zdeněk Smetana, depicted in a playful seated pose atop a large leaf amid naturalistic foliage. A small butterfly hovers in the upper field, while the character's whimsical bag is shown to the lower left. The name KŘEMÍLEK appears in bold stylised lettering along the right side of the field. The engraver's initials IH (Irena Hradecká) are incused in the lower left, and the fineness mark Ag 999 is inscribed at the bottom. The copyright inscription and licensing credit appear along the left inner border. |
