| Obverse description | The Public Seal of Niue occupies the central field, depicted as a circular emblem surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by two crossed traditional Niuean paddles below. The seal is encircled by an ornamental wreath of stylized leaf motifs rendered in the indigenous Niuean decorative style. The legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE arcs above the seal, while the inscription ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI appears on a banner below. The fineness mark Ag 999 and the Mint of Poland mintmark (mw) are struck beneath the seal, with the denomination TWO DOLLARS arcing along the upper rim and the date 2023 positioned at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a Mayan figure rendered in the traditional Mayan figurative style, shown in a crouching posture and bearing a heavy symbolic burden upon his back, evoking the Mayan concept of time-bearers. The figure is framed within a circular composition whose outer border is divided into 18 segments, each representing one of the 18 named months of the ancient Mayan Haab civil calendar, with an additional segment representing the Wayeb', the intercalary period of five unnamed days completing the 365-day year. Each month segment is identified by its corresponding glyph name rendered in Latin lettering within a colored resin inlay band encircling the design. The overall composition reflects the cyclical cosmological worldview of Mayan civilization. |
