| Obverse description | Central field features the Public Seal of Niue, depicting a stylised flowering plant within a circular medallion surrounded by a beaded border, itself enclosed within a wreath of braided foliage surmounted by a royal crown. Below the central device, two crossed swords are rendered in relief beneath a ribbon scroll bearing the Niuean motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. The legend NIUE 2023 arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 2 DOLLARS is inscribed in relief along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Treasury allows the island territory to issue legal tender coins despite having no central bank of its own — a quirk that has made it one of the most prolific bullion and commemorative issuing authorities in the Pacific. This particular piece straddles a dynastic transition: Elizabeth II died in September 2022, and coins bearing both monarchs reflect the lag between royal succession and the retooling of dies across dozens of Commonwealth minting programs.
