| Obverse description | A combined design field presents the diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered after Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait, positioned in the lower left quadrant. Behind and above the effigy rises a detailed high-relief sculptural group depicting classical figures in a frieze composition, evoking Roman or baroque architectural ornamentation, with a winged lion prominent to the right. An outline map of Europe occupies the right field, with dotted markers and inscriptions identifying the cities featured in the series: Moscow, Vilnius, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana, and Rome. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' and the date '2016' appear in the lower field, flanked by the legend 'NIUE ISLAND' along the bottom. The legend 'UNITED IN DIVERSITY 01.11.1993' arcs across the upper field, and the engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the effigy; a continuous scroll-pattern border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of the historic landmarks and architectural heritage of Szombathely, Hungary, incorporating a small sculpted amber insert crafted using the intaglio relief technique. The central composition showcases recognizable architectural and cultural motifs associated with the city, rendered with precision against a polished proof field. The amber insert, set within the design, adds a naturalistic warmth and tactile dimension to the coin's artistic character. The word 'SZOMBATHELY' is inscribed as the principal legend across the reverse field. |
