| Obverse description | The obverse bears the right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the portrait truncation. The surrounding legend is divided across the coin, reading ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE TWO DOLLARS to the right. The date 2020 appears in the lower field. The portrait follows Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive effigy of the Queen, widely used on Commonwealth coinage from 1998. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued licensed bullion and collector coinage under agreement with various intellectual property holders since the early 2000s, functioning essentially as a mint-friendly jurisdiction that lends its currency authority to products designed and marketed elsewhere. This piece is part of a broader Harry Potter series produced for the collector market, with distribution handled through the New Zealand Mint. Actual circulation on Niue — a self-governing territory of roughly 1,600 people — is effectively nil.
