| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field of the rectangular flan, rendered in high relief against a textured background with sweeping diagonal bands. The legend ELIZABETH II and NIUE appear above the effigy in two lines, separated by a horizontal rule. The date 2021 is inscribed below the portrait, with the denomination 2 DOLLARS along the lower portion of the field, also separated by a horizontal rule. The overall antiqued finish imparts a matte, aged appearance to the design. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to access the international numismatic market. The island's actual population hovers around 1,600 — the coins are a revenue mechanism, not a monetary one.
KM#4262 is one of dozens of themed one-ounce silver issues Niue has produced under the Elizabeth II obverse program. Without additional documentation on the specific "Sally" series, provenance of the subject matter and mintage figures should be confirmed against the issuing distributor's records before cataloging as a limited issue.
