| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue prominently centred in the field, depicted as a crowned circular emblem surrounded by a laurel wreath and crossed palm fronds beneath, with a ribbon banner inscribed ATUA / NIUE TUKULAGI. A small lion's head privy mark appears to the right of the seal. The field is animated by concentric spiral line engraving radiating outward, creating a dynamic optical illusion effect. To the upper left, the legends ICON, 2025, and 1945 are inscribed in stacked format, while the denomination 2 DOLLARS arcs along the lower rim. The inscription 1 OZ FINE SILVER 9999 curves along the upper periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised portrait of Sir Winston Churchill rendered entirely through intricate guilloche-style line engraving, whereby densely packed geometric zigzag and labyrinthine patterns of varying density create the illusion of light and shadow across his iconic visage. The portrait fills the entire field within a plain raised border composed of multiple concentric lines. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face; the design relies solely on the optical contrast of the fine line work to convey the subject's recognisable features, including his characteristic jowled profile and stern expression. |
