| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait style, centrally positioned on the rectangular field. The legend ELIZABETH II and NIUE appear in two lines above the effigy, while the denomination 1 DOLLAR and the date 2022 are inscribed in two lines below. The designer's initials IRB appear beneath the truncation of the bust. The field has an irregular, hammered-style border consistent with the coin's shaped flan. |

| Additional information |
Niue has been a reliable vehicle for novelty bullion issues since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign status to mint operators producing pieces that target collectors rather than any functioning currency need. This particular issue belongs to a wave of oversized, mixed-metal art coins that proliferated in the early 2020s — the silver content is nominal, the copper doing almost all the structural work by mass.
The KM#4840 reference places it firmly in the post-2010 explosion of Niuean numismatic licensing, a catalog now running into the thousands of entries.
