| Obverse description | Fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left border, NIUE along the upper border, and 2 DOLLARS along the right border, with the date 2015 centered along the lower border, all separated by raised dot dividers. The square flan exhibits a textured, hammered-effect gold-plated field throughout. |

| Reverse description | Richly colored depiction of the Archangel Saint Michael, clad in red armor and robes with a nimbus about his head, striding triumphantly over the prostrate dragon beneath his feet. The Archangel raises a long lance with his right hand, poised to deliver the fatal blow, while his left arm extends outward holding a shield. The vanquished dragon, rendered in naturalistic detail, writhes beneath Saint Michael's stance. The entire composition is executed in applied polychrome enamel color against a gold-plated relief background of intricately engraved floral scrollwork, evoking the style of medieval illuminated manuscript iconography. |
