| Obverse description | Centrally placed within a rectangular silver field, the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is depicted in right-facing profile, diademed and draped. The background field features a repeated microprint security pattern of the word 'MINT' across the entire surface. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs to the left and 'NIUE TWO DOLLARS' to the right of the portrait, with the date '2019' inscribed below in the exergue. Concentric circular motifs surround the central portrait, lending a distinctive decorative element to the otherwise minimalist silver field. |

| Additional information |
One of several releases in Niue's ongoing fantasy-themed bullion program, this coin was issued under the standing licensing and minting arrangement that allows the Pacific island territory to generate revenue through collector coin issues — a fiscal model that has made Niue one of the more prolific novelty silver issuers of the past two decades despite a population under 2,000.
KM#3343 was struck at the New Zealand Mint on behalf of the Niue government.
