| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field of the square flan. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' runs vertically along the left border and '1 DOLLAR' appears along the top edge, with 'NIUE ISLAND' inscribed vertically along the right border. The date '2020' is positioned in the lower left field, while the fineness mark 'Ag 999 1 oz' appears in the lower right. The engraver's initials 'IRB' are incuse below the portrait truncation. The gold-plated surface exhibits a dramatic diagonal two-tone finish dividing the field into contrasting light and dark zones. |

| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Sandro Botticelli's 'Madonna and Child with Six Angels' (also known as the 'Madonna of the Pomegranate' group), rendered in vivid polychrome enamel across the entire square field. The Virgin Mary is depicted at center, tenderly holding the Christ Child who reaches upward toward her face, surrounded by six adoring angels bearing symbolic attributes including a palm frond and a candle. The composition is enclosed within a richly ornate gilded frame with acanthus-leaf and scroll decoration in high relief, emulating the appearance of a Renaissance altarpiece. The detailed coloring faithfully reproduces the warm hues of Botticelli's original Florentine masterwork. |
