| Obverse description | Central effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, crowned and draped, facing right, rendered in high relief after the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf; the Queen wears a jewelled crown, drop earring, and chain necklace, with the engraver's initials RDM visible on the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and TWO DOLLARS along the right, with NIUE inscribed above in the upper field. The date 2016 appears in the lower exergue, and the entire design is framed by a continuous beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) depicted in high relief, standing upright and facing left with head turned slightly upward in an alert posture, its talons firmly gripping a rocky outcrop in the lower field. Intricately engraved feathering covers the bird's body and folded wings, conveying exceptional naturalistic detail. The background features a dramatic mountain landscape with sheer cliff faces rising behind the eagle, flanked by coniferous trees rendered in deep relief on both sides. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse; the design fills the entire coin face to the smooth edge. |
