| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a diadem and pearl earring, rendered in high relief after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, with NIUE inscribed at the top and 10 DOLLARS along the right. The date 2021 is positioned at the lower rim. The portrait is set against a polished mirror field within a recessed inner circle. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic high-relief depiction of Chang'e, the Chinese Moon goddess of legend, shown in an ascending pose with her richly adorned traditional garments and long flowing ribbons swirling dramatically around her figure. She extends one hand toward the Jade Rabbit, rendered leaping in the middle ground to the right. A large stylised full moon occupies the background, with the entire scene set against a vivid blue coloured field evoking the night sky, accented with floral motifs and water-cloud elements in low relief. The inscription CHANG E FLYING TO THE MOON appears in the right field, with the fineness and weight mark AG 999 5OZ inscribed at the lower exergue. |
