| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a tiara and pearl earring, executed in high relief with an antiqued finish. The portrait is framed by elaborate Celtic knotwork and geometric maze-like ornamental panels filling the surrounding field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the effigy, with NIUE ISLAND inscribed vertically to the left and 10 DOLLARS along the lower field. The date 2022 appears to the upper right, with the fineness mark AG 999 and weight designation 5 OZ to the right of the portrait; the engraver's initials IRB and the Czech Mint mark CM appear below the bust. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of Apollo, the Greek god of music and the arts, shown as a youthful, partially draped male figure seated in a dynamic contrapposto pose upon a rocky support. He is portrayed playing a large kithara (lyre), which he cradles against his torso with both hands, his curly hair rendered with classical precision. The name APOLLON is inscribed in large capital letters across the central field, divided as APOL to the left and LON to the right of the figure. Decorative scrolling acanthus and Celtic knotwork motifs border the lower and upper portions of the design. The coin bears an antiqued finish throughout, enhancing the sculptural depth of the composition. |
