| Obverse lettering | ONE DOLLAR PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI 2021 |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the full text of the Lord's Prayer in the Latvian language, arranged in a continuous spiral of concentric circular bands radiating outward from the centre of the coin. The word 'Āmen' is inscribed in the smooth polished central field, serving as the focal point of the composition. The prayer text is engraved in fine relief lettering, beginning at the centre and expanding outward to fill the entire reverse field up to the rim. The overall design creates a visually striking and devotional effect, characteristic of modern commemorative proof coinage. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing venue for foreign mints and marketing firms since the 1970s, with the New Zealand-dependent territory lending its legal tender status to commemorative programs that have no meaningful circulation history on the island itself. This piece is part of that well-worn commercial pipeline — a numismatic product sold primarily to collectors in secondary markets, not a coin that ever changed hands in Alofi.
