| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the sovereign with a diadem and draped neckline with finely detailed hair. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the neck. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · NIUE ISLAND' in the upper arc, with the denomination '2 DOLLARS' and date '2017' distributed along the lower arc, all separated by raised bullet points against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | A finely engraved, high-relief depiction of a European bison (wisent) walking in left profile, with the animal's massive hump, shaggy mane, and lowered head rendered in meticulous naturalistic detail against a polished mirror field suggestive of open grassland. The creature's hooves and legs are shown in mid-stride atop stylised tufts of grass. The Linnaean binomial 'Bison bonasus' is inscribed in mixed-case lettering along the lower arc of the coin, serving as the sole legend on this face. |
