| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem, drop earring, and pearl necklace, as rendered by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field and NIUE ISLAND along the right field, both in upright Latin capitals. The date 2010 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The entire design is framed by a decorative geometric border of interlocking diamond and chevron motifs running along the inner rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely engraved swordfish, depicted in dynamic leaping pose with its elongated rostrum extended horizontally to the right and its large crescent-shaped tail fin curving downward, occupies the central field. The fish is rendered with fine detailing on the dorsal fin, lateral line, and ventral surface. The legend NIUE arcs above the motif, while ONE DOLLAR is inscribed in the lower left field. The design is framed by the same interlocking diamond and chevron geometric border as the obverse, consistent with Niuean coinage design conventions. |
