| Obverse description | Diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief against a densely detailed steampunk-inspired field filled with interlocking mechanical gears and cogs of varying sizes. The legend CODE OF THE FUTURE arcs through the upper field, flanking the portrait on either side. The peripheral border is designed as a clock face, with hour numerals 1 through 12 arranged around the toothed rim, the 12 positioned at top center. Inscriptions ELIZABETH II, NIUE, 2022, 2 DOLLARS, and Ag 999 appear in the lower portion of the field, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed steampunk clock-face composition dominates the reverse, with the hour numerals 1 through 12 arranged around the toothed peripheral rim. At center, a large gold-colored clock hand points upward, grasped at its base by a vivid blue-colored running human figure rendered in selective color application. The field is divided into three narrative vignettes depicting different eras of time: an upper section showing prehistoric dinosaurs in a jungle setting, a lower-left scene depicting figures in a laboratory or workshop environment evoking the past, and a lower-right scene suggesting a futuristic cityscape with spacecraft and advanced architecture. Interlocking gears, cogs, and mechanical linkages in antiqued silver and gold tones fill the remaining field. The inscription TIME TRAVEL appears in bold relief across the upper field between the 11 and 1 hour positions. |
