| Reverse description | Conjoined right-facing busts of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem and a multi-strand pearl necklace, while Prince Philip appears in military dress uniform adorned with medals, decorations, and the star of the Order of the Garter. The composition places the Queen slightly to the fore and left, with Prince Philip prominent in the background to the right. The curved legend · A LIFETIME OF SERVICE · arcs along the upper periphery in raised capital letters. |

Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction for international collectors since the 1980s, functioning largely as a licensing vehicle for foreign mints producing commemorative issues with nominal legal tender status. This piece was struck to mark Queen Elizabeth II's decades on the throne, issued the same year she surpassed George III as the longest-reigning British monarch of the modern era — a threshold that generated a wave of commemorative output across Commonwealth and associated territories.
The KM#440a designation distinguishes this from a related base-metal issue in the series.
