| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials 'IRB' appear below the bust. The square flan is bisected diagonally by a contrasting dark field, creating a striking geometric composition. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' runs vertically along the left border, '1 DOLLAR' appears horizontally at the top, and 'NIUE ISLAND' vertically along the right border. The date '2020' is inscribed at the lower left, while 'Ag 999 1 oz' appears at the lower right, along with the Mint of Poland mintmark. |

| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Jan Asselijn's celebrated 17th-century Dutch Golden Age oil painting 'The Threatened Swan,' depicted within an ornate gilded frame rendered in high relief. The composition shows a large mute swan with wings dramatically spread wide, neck outstretched aggressively in a defensive posture above a naturalistic landscape with water, reeds, and a cloudy sky. A dog and hunter appear in the lower left background, lending narrative tension to the scene. The color application faithfully reproduces the warm tonal palette of the original masterpiece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The elaborate acanthus-scroll gilt frame border serves as the coin's decorative surround. |
