| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait style, with the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The bust is finely detailed with elaborately coiffed hair and a pearl drop earring visible. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE TWO DOLLARS to the right, with the date 2021 at the base. The entire surface bears an antiqued finish, lending the field a warm, aged character. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed and dramatically composed scene depicting a plague doctor in three-quarter view, dominating the field. The figure wears the iconic beaked mask with polychrome color application in amber and copper tones, a wide-brimmed hat, and layered robes with a visible belt buckle. The gaunt, skeletal hands of the figure are outstretched, with a small robin rendered in vivid red and orange colorization perched upon one finger, tethered by a fine chain. To the left of the composition, additional robed figures in dark tones recede into the background. An artist's signature is incised into the lower right field. The antiqued silver surface enhances the macabre, historically evocative atmosphere of the design. |
