| Obverse description | The obverse features a crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile at center, set within a raised circular inner field with a mirror-polished proof finish. Surrounding this central portrait is a broad decorative border containing twelve raised medallions, each depicting one of the signs of the zodiac rendered in relief against a matte background. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the upper left and 'NIUE ISLAND' to the upper right, with the denomination '1 DOLLAR', the date '2011', and the fineness 'Ag 925' inscribed along the lower arc of the inner border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colorized Art Nouveau composition inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, depicting a young woman in left-facing profile with elaborately styled auburn hair adorned with a decorative headpiece, holding a spray of blossoms to her lips. The background features intricate foliate and floral motifs rendered in raised silver relief. In the lower foreground, a circular inset medallion displays a finely detailed bull's head in high relief — the symbol of Taurus — accompanied by the Taurus astrological glyph below. The legend 'TAURUS' is partially integrated into the decorative background in raised letters across the upper field. |
