| Obverse description | The coin is struck in the shaped form of a human face in profile, conforming to the contour of the Two-Face design. At center, the right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, occupies the upper field. The curved legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and NIUE / TWO DOLLARS to the right, with the date 2022 inscribed below the portrait. Further below appear the inscriptions 1 oz 999 Fine Silver and BATMAN © & TM DC (s22), confirming the coin's specifications and licensing. The entire design is executed in proof finish on a mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long operated as a prolific licensing hub for novelty silver issues, with the New Zealand territory's name appearing on hundreds of collector pieces that have no connection to local commerce. This particular issue belongs to that cottage industry rather than to any monetary history worth narrating.
KM#4981 traces to a DC Comics licensing arrangement — Two-Face being the Batman villain Harvey Dent, whose coin-flipping motif made him an obvious candidate for a literal coin product.
