| Obverse description | The obverse presents a highly distinctive composite design featuring a stylised silhouette of the Prague skyline — with Gothic spires and Baroque domes rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished black field — spanning the entire coin surface. Set within a raised circular cartouche at left of centre is the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with the engraver's initials IRB beneath the truncation. The circular legend surrounding the portrait reads NIUE ISLAND · ELIZABETH II · 1 DOLLAR, with the date 2019 below, while the bold Latin motto PRAGA CAPUT REGNI — meaning 'Prague, Head of the Kingdom' — is displayed in a stylised Art Nouveau-inspired typeface across the right field. The mint mark of the Czech Mint (CM) and the engraver's monogram (ZF) appear at the lower centre. |
