The arc legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II appears in the upper periphery, with the birth and death years 1926 - 2022 inscribed below the portrait along the lower field. A dotted border runs along the inner rim, and the fineness inscription 1 oz 999 Fine Silver is placed at the very base of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing jurisdiction since 1987, functioning essentially as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand Mint and various international bullion programs. The island's actual population hovers around 1,600, making its nominal monetary authority one of the most disproportionate in the Pacific — coins "issued" by Niue are legal tender there in the same breath that virtually none circulate.
This piece was struck in the year of Elizabeth II's death, placing it among the final issues bearing her effigy under an active reign rather than a commemorative one.
