| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, after the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field of the rectangular flan. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' and 'NIUE' appears in two lines above the portrait, while the denomination '2 DOLLARS' and the date '2016' are inscribed in two lines below. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear beneath the truncation of the bust. The gold-plated finish imparts a warm, uniform tone across the entire surface. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal icon-style depiction of Saint Alexander Nevsky, rendered in vivid color against an elaborately engraved gilt background of interlaced foliate arabesques. The saint is shown standing in golden scale armor and ornate boots, draped in a princely white ermine-lined mantle with a broad red cape, holding a processional cross in his right hand and a sword in his left. A radiant halo encircles his crowned head. Cyrillic inscriptions identifying him as the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky flank the figure at left and right. Architectural elements including towers and a river landscape are visible at the lower left and right of the composition. |
