The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and NIUE appears at the top of the field. The denomination TWO DOLLARS runs along the right periphery. The date 2022 is inscribed at the bottom of the field, and the engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. |

| Additional information |
The New Zealand Mint operates as a private mint, not a government institution — it licenses the effigy of Elizabeth II for collector issues but has no role in producing New Zealand's circulating coinage, which is handled by the Royal Canadian Mint under contract. This piece was struck in the final months before Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, making late-dated issues from that year among the last to carry her portrait under active reign rather than in memoriam.
