| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a right-facing diademed and draped bust after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear truncated at the neck. Superimposed behind the royal effigy is a dynamic sculptural relief depicting a protester carrying a banner, rendered in a bold, expressive graphic style with strong contrasts between the frosted and mirrored fields. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2019 positioned to the right. The denomination 10 DOLLARS and the issuer inscription NIUE ISLAND are arranged vertically along the left rim. The Czech Mint mark (CM) appears at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, stylised close-up portrait of Czech singer-songwriter and protest poet Karel Kryl, rendered in a striking graphic manner with deeply contrasted proof and matte surfaces that accentuate his facial features, including his expressive eyes and characteristic beard. The design merges the portrait with flowing hair rendered in energetic engraved lines against a polished mirror field. The subject's name KAREL KRYL appears in prominent raised lettering at the upper right of the field. Three lines of Czech text reading PROTEST / PÍSNÍ A / VERŠEM — meaning 'protest by songs and verse' — are inscribed across the central and lower field in bold block capitals. A small engraver's initial appears at the lower right. |
