| Obverse description | The obverse features the third-portrait right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, drop earrings, and a necklace. The queen's draped bust is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend "ELIZABETH II" runs along the left arc, "NIUE" appears at the top, and "2 DOLLARS" along the right arc, with the date "2009" positioned at the base. The design is framed by a decorative beaded border encircling the entire obverse. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a turtle dove in graceful flight, rendered in finely detailed high relief, with its wings fully spread and tail feathers fanned, set against a deeply mirrored proof field. Below the bird, an ornate Christmas wreath of pine branches tied with a decorative ribbon bow occupies the lower portion of the design. To the upper left, a large numeral "2" in script style is prominently displayed alongside the inscription "Turtle Doves" in elegant lettering. A banner-style ribbon cartouche bearing the legend "TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS" arcs along the upper periphery of the coin. The composition evokes the theme of the traditional English carol in a refined, festive artistic style. |
