| Obverse description | The obverse presents the right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear truncated below the portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed above the effigy, with NIUE positioned immediately below. The date 2022 and denomination 2 DOLLARS appear in the lower field, separated by horizontal rules, while the inscription 1 oz 999 Fine Silver is engraved further below. The coin's distinctive figural silhouette — shaped in the outline of a stylised chibi character — is visible on this face, contributing to the overall non-circular format of the piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a fully coloured chibi-style caricature of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, rendered in a stylised pop-art aesthetic consistent with the New Zealand Mint's Chibi Coin series. The figure is depicted wearing a dark formal suit with a white shirt and black necktie, and displays Roosevelt's characteristic round pince-nez spectacles and prominent walrus moustache. The oversized head is modelled with dimensional relief and coloured in naturalistic flesh and brown tones, while the body occupies the lower portion of the coin's figural shape. No peripheral legend appears on the reverse, the design relying entirely on the sculptural coloured figure to convey the subject's identity. |
