| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, centered in the field. The surrounding circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II • NIUE 2016 • 100 DOLLARS •' along the upper arc, with '• 1OZ 9999 GOLD •' along the lower arc, all separated by bullet points. A beaded inner border frames the entire design, and the coin is struck to proof standard in .9999 fine gold, giving the portrait a brilliant, high-relief finish. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-color depiction of a Blue Tongue Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides) occupying the central field, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel coloring. The lizard is shown in a naturalistic three-quarter frontal pose with its distinctive bright blue tongue prominently extended from its open mouth. The scaly texture of its brown and cream-patterned body is rendered in fine sculptural relief, and the animal rests upon a rocky outcrop amid stylized native vegetation including grass tufts in the background. The arched legend 'BLUE TONGUE LIZARD' appears in raised lettering along the upper portion of the field against a dark background. |
