| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the third portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, set within a central oval field with a stippled or frosted texture. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' along the left, '2012' at the top, 'NIUE ISLAND' along the right, and '1 DOLLAR' at the base, all within the raised oval border of this non-circular flan. |

| Reverse description | Two highly detailed Chinese dragons, rendered in high relief, coil around a full-color photographic image of the Earth at the center of the oval flan. The surrounding annular band is divided into four quadrants of vivid color — purple, green, blue, and orange-red — representing the four cardinal elements or directions. Decorative cloud-scroll motifs frame the upper portion of the design, and the inscription 'YEAR OF THE DRAGON' appears in raised letters along the lower arc of the border. |
