| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND IRB 2 DOLLARS 2022 |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the full tiger-shaped coin silhouette in profile, depicting a striding big cat with head lowered and tail curled upward. The entire surface is densely covered with archaic Chinese seal-script characters (zhuan shu) rendered in raised relief, evoking ancient bronze tiger tallies used as imperial military credentials. The gold plating imparts a warm, lustrous tone across the intricately engraved field, referencing the gilded bronze aesthetic of Chinese antiquity. The design references the traditional hu fu (tiger tally) split into two matching halves, this piece representing the second of two complementary issues. |
