| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupies the central field. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation, alongside the Mint of Poland mintmark. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the upper left and 'NIUE ISLAND' to the upper right, separated by a dotted border. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' and date '2019' are inscribed along the lower arc, with the fineness mark 'Ag 999' positioned to the right of the portrait. The entire design is framed by a beaded inner border and a plain outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific licensing platform for commemorative silver issues since the 1990s, contracting with the New Zealand Mint and others to produce collector pieces well in excess of what its roughly 1,600-person population could ever require domestically. The "Umbrellas" issue belongs to a wave of Niuean-issued art coins that embed resin or enamel elements — production quirks that occasionally cause long-term preservation problems not yet fully understood by the grading services.
