| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the style of the Raphael Maklouf portrait, occupying the central field within an ornate oval cartouche flanked by stylized laurel branches. Above the effigy, a pair of crossed tennis rackets with a trophy or vase form an elegant decorative motif. The upper portion of the coin features an elaborate Fabergé-inspired filigree border of floral and geometric ornaments, while the lower section displays a winged cherub figure in high relief. The legends ELIZABETH II to the left, NIUE ISLAND to the right, ONE DOLLAR at the base, and Ag925 appear in the field, with the date 2011 at lower left. |

| Reverse description | Elaborately decorated oval field in the Fabergé Imperial Easter Egg tradition, with gilded filigree ornamental borders of flowers, geometric patterns, and pendant shield motifs occupying the upper portion.

A gold-coloured scrolling ribbon banner beneath the heart bears the legend LOVE LOVE LOVE in raised letters. At the base of the composition, a gilded orb or basket finial is depicted in high relief, flanked by wing-like decorative elements. |
