| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into distinct panels depicting architectural elements of St. Michael's Castle (Engineers' Castle) in St. Petersburg: the upper right panel shows a detailed relief of the castle's façade viewed from the Fontanka River, while the lower left panel displays the ornate iron gate with its characteristic Medusa-head medallion and crossed torch motifs. A period street lantern rises vertically through the centre of the composition. At lower right, within a recessed rectangular frame, appears the diademed and draped right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' and date '2014' are inscribed to the upper left, with the legends 'NIUE ISLAND' and 'ELIZABETH II' running vertically along the right margin; the fineness and weight 'Ag 925 / 26.15 g' appear in the lower centre field. |

| Additional information |
Paul I ruled Russia for just four years before being strangled by a group of conspirators — many of them palace guards — in March 1801. His son Alexander I almost certainly knew of the plot. This coin belongs to Niue's ongoing series of numismatic issues bearing the Niuean dollar denomination, a legal arrangement that exists primarily to provide a sovereign issuing authority for international collector coins rather than reflecting any genuine local monetary circulation.
