| Obverse description | Crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE ISLAND to the right, with the date 2012 positioned above the portrait. Below the bust, an additional inscription reads 1/24th of 24 Dollars, referencing the coin's place within a larger series. The design is rendered with sharply struck relief characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | Colored reproduction of Albrecht Dürer's engraving 'Madonna on the Crescent' (c. 1508), depicting the Virgin Mary standing atop a crescent moon, her flowing robes and long hair radiating a pronounced glory of fine rays. She tenderly embraces the Christ Child against her chest, both figures enveloped in the luminous mandorla. An angel with outstretched wings appears to the lower left of the composition. Dürer's monogram 'AD' appears at the lower center of the field, serving as both the artist's signature and the sole lettering on this face. |
