| Reverse description | Central oval portrait of Princess Diana, diademed and wearing a pearl choker, set against a detailed background depicting the ornate wrought-iron gates of Buckingham Palace flanked by lamp posts and surrounded by a bed of flowers rendered in fine relief. A large rose in high relief occupies the lower left, bearing the letter D on its face, while Diana's facsimile signature appears across the centre of the field. The arc legend A WIFE · A PRINCESS · A MOTHER · A LEGEND runs along the upper border, and the inscription WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER appears in the upper field. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative issues, contracting foreign mints to produce coins that circulate legally on the island but are manufactured entirely for the collector market. This piece was issued the year before the 30th anniversary of Diana's 1981 marriage to Charles — a scheduling choice that suggests commercial opportunism rather than calendrical significance.
Silver-plated copper at this weight puts it firmly in the souvenir tier, not the bullion or proof category.
