| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear beneath the truncation. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE 2022 to the upper right, with ONE DOLLAR to the right and 1OZ 999 SILVER along the lower arc, all separated by raised dots. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field characteristic of proof coinage. |

Niue has long operated as a licensing hub for novelty commemorative silver, issuing coins under New Zealand's monetary umbrella while generating revenue from collector themes that have no connection to the island itself. The "Roswell" release trades on the 1947 incident in New Mexico — whether a weather balloon, a Project Mogul device, or something else entirely depends on which declassified documents you find persuasive — and the coin exists purely because that ambiguity still sells.
