| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a jewelled crown, a drop earring, and a pearl necklace, rendered in high relief with an antiqued finish. The effigy is depicted in a mature, idealized portrait style characteristic of late-reign coinage. The circumferential legend reads 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' at the top of the field, with 'NIUE TWO DOLLARS' at the left and '2oz 999 FINE SILVER' at the right. The date '2018' appears at the base of the coin below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of the Ascension of Christ, inspired by Gustave Doré's celebrated Biblical engravings. At the upper center of the field, the robed and radiant figure of Christ ascends heavenward, surrounded by a halo of rays, his garments flowing dramatically. In the lower portion of the field, a group of apostles and followers gesture upward in reverence and awe, their drapery rendered with fine engraved line work across a textured ground. The antiqued silver finish lends the composition a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. The legend 'THE ASCENSION' is incused along the lower rim. |
