| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Raphael David Maklouf, occupying the central field against a mirrored proof background. The portrait depicts the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara with drop earring visible. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, NIUE along the upper right, and 2 DOLLARS vertically along the right rim, all separated by small raised beads forming a decorative inner border. The date 2009 appears in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued coins as a revenue-generating instrument for decades, contracting with foreign mints to produce collectibles that never circulate on the island. This "12 Days of Christmas" series was struck across two years to allow collectors to assemble a complete set incrementally — a deliberate sales strategy that kept buyers returning annually rather than purchasing the full series at once.
