| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, set within a raised inner circle against a textured field evoking a rocky, meteorite-scarred landscape. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the portrait, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the bust. The purity mark Ag 999 appears to the right in the field. The outer legend reads NIUE ISLAND 2017 above and ONE DOLLAR below, separated by the inner border. |
