| Obverse description | The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II set against an ornate swirling foliate background filling the upper bell-shaped field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' curves beneath the portrait, flanked by the weight indication '1 oz' to the right and a mint mark to the lower left. The broad horizontal band of the bell skirt bears the denomination '2 DOLLARS' in bold raised letters. The lower curved section displays a mirror-polished field populated with raised spherical bosses of varying sizes, evoking a clapper and decorative bells, with the inscription 'NIUE ISLAND 2012' and the fineness mark 'Ag 999' inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a charming winter Christmas scene in high relief, depicting three children dressed in period winter attire skating on ice. The central child raises a small hand bell aloft, while the figure to the right carries a star-topped wand set with an inset blue Swarovski crystal. Snow-covered fir trees frame the composition in the background, and the mirror-polished sky is scattered with six-pointed stars and delicate snowflakes in relief. The lower skirt section of the bell shape continues the festive motif with additional snowflake and star ornaments distributed across the frosted field. |
