| Obverse lettering | QUEEN ELIZABETH II NIUE TWO DOLLARS 2020 2oz 999 FINE SILVER |
| Reverse description | Dramatic high-relief depiction of the biblical scene of Jesus walking upon turbulent seas, drawn directly from Gustave Doré's celebrated engraving. The figure of Jesus dominates the composition in the foreground, striding across violently churned waves rendered in deep sculptural relief, with the silhouette of a small distant boat visible through the stormy atmosphere in the background. The antiqued silver finish enhances the dramatic chiaroscuro of the original artwork. The legend JESUS WALKING ON THE SEA is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. |

Niue's arrangement with the New Zealand Mint has made it one of the most prolific issuers of themed collector silver in the Pacific, producing hundreds of devotional, pop-culture, and commemorative types under its sovereignty. This piece falls into a wave of biblically themed issues that flooded the numismatic market in the late 2010s, aimed squarely at religious gift buyers rather than traditional collectors. Secondary market premiums tend to collapse quickly on these types once the initial release window closes.
