| Obverse description | At centre, the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting a right-facing diademed and draped bust of the Queen, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation and the fineness mark Ag 999 to the right. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above along the inner circle, with 2 DOLLARS to the right and NIUE 2019 below. Surrounding the central portrait medallion, the entire field is filled with an elaborately engraved background of interlocking dragon scales in high relief, populated by multiple sinuous Norse dragon figures rendered in the Urnes stave-church artistic style, creating a dramatic decorative border that integrates seamlessly with the coin's overall mythological theme. |
