| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a right-facing diademed and draped bust designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, set within a polished inner circle against a frosted field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper left and NIUE ISLAND across the upper right, separated by the inscription 1 DOLLAR 2015 along the lower border. The fineness mark Ag 999 appears to the right of the truncation, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the bust. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking dual composition celebrating the Pug breed: occupying the left half of the field is a highly realistic full-color photographic portrait of a fawn Pug's face, rendered in vivid detail with wrinkled brow and dark expressive eyes. To the right, a fully struck silver bas-relief depicts a seated Pug amid foliage, executed in traditional numismatic relief against a dark background suggestive of bamboo and bark textures. The breed designations MOPS and PUG are incuse in the upper field on either side. The artist's monogram appears at lower left. |
