| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, drop earrings, and a necklace, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley whose initials appear below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE · TWO DOLLARS to the right, separated by two raised dots, with the date 2011 in the lower exergue. A fine beaded border frames the entire design against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a reliable vehicle for novelty legal-tender silver issues since the 1990s, licensing pop-culture properties through arrangements that funnel royalty revenue to the island's limited economy. This coin was released under a Star Wars licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, part of a broader series covering characters from the franchise. New Zealand handles Niue's currency and foreign affairs, which is what makes the legal-tender status of these issues technically valid despite the island's population of roughly 1,600.
