| Obverse description | The obverse occupies a circular cartouche set within the left portion of the rectangular gold bar. It features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a right-facing draped bust with tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend arcs around the portrait reading 'ELIZABETH II' above and 'NIUE' to the left, with the denomination '2 DOLLARS 50 CENTS' and date '2021' along the lower arc. The right field of the bar carries the inscriptions 'SOLID GOLD', 'WEIGHT 1/100 Oz', and 'FINE GOLD 999.9' in three stacked lines, confirming the coin's specifications. The designer's initials 'IRB' appear below the portrait truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this rectangular gold bar is dominated by a large numeral '1982' in bold relief along the left side, referencing the inaugural year of the Chinese Panda bullion coin series. The background is filled with a repeating geometric pattern of stylised 'M' or panda-track motifs, creating a fine guilloche-like security field. To the right, a circular cameo depicts a giant panda seated and holding a bamboo shoot, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the fur and foliage. The word 'CHINA' arcs above the panda cameo, and a small mint mark appears within the cameo field. |
