| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted with a jewelled diadem, pearl earring, and elaborately styled hair. The legend HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, with NIUE appearing at the lower right, all separated by a raised dot. The date 2019 is prominently struck in the lower exergue, and the engraver's initials IRB appear incuse below the truncation of the neck. A fine beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Battle of Cocos, fought on November 9, 1914, was HMAS Sydney's destruction of the German cruiser SMS Emden off Direction Island — Australia's first naval victory of the First World War and one of the most celebrated single-ship actions of the entire conflict. Niue has issued commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements that allow it to produce large-format pieces well outside the scope of its domestic economy, functioning essentially as a revenue vehicle for foreign minting houses.
At 110 grams and 65mm, this is a medallic-weight piece where the gold plating over copper is the defining commercial compromise.
