| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring, rendered in high relief within a central oval cartouche set against a frosted field. The portrait is after the third definitive effigy modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II above and NIUE ISLAND to the right, with the date 2012 at the top and the denomination 2 DOLLARS at the base, all separated by raised dot stops and arranged along the broad oval border. |

| Reverse description | An extreme close-up photographic color print of a Grand Cayman Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi) fills the entire oval flan, rendered through full-color application. The composition is dominated by the reptile's intricately textured scales in vivid turquoise and cerulean blue tones, with the creature's eye—featuring a striking red iris and dark pupil—positioned centrally as the focal point. The remarkable detail of the overlapping scaly skin is rendered with naturalistic precision, emphasizing the endangered species' distinctive coloration. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
