| Obverse description | Centrally positioned within an ornate, high-relief baroque cartouche of scrolling acanthus and rocaille motifs, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley occupies a recessed medallion. The legend 'NIUE ISLAND' arcs around the upper periphery of the oval field, while 'ELIZABETH II' runs vertically along the left margin. The inscriptions 'Ag 999' and '2 DOLLARS' appear in the lower field, with the date '2014' placed above the cartouche near the top edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a high-relief sculptural depiction of a Kiwi statuette rendered in the round, enhanced with selective gilding and framed by stylized ornamental motifs incorporating Swarovski crystal elements. The figure of the Kiwi, the iconic flightless bird and national symbol of New Zealand, is presented with fine detail in its plumage and form. The inscription 'KIWI' appears within the decorative composition. The overall design is set within the oval format of the coin and exhibits a richly embellished, jewellery-like aesthetic characteristic of premium collector issues. |
