| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, as engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley, centered in the field with the engraver's initials 'IRB' incuse below the truncation. The peripheral legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'NIUE TWO DOLLARS' to the right, with the date '2021' and the fineness mark 'Ag 999' inscribed in the lower field. The coin exhibits an antiqued finish that accentuates the fine detail of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Two snarling wolves depicted in high relief, their bodies intertwined in a dynamic yin-yang-like composition that fills the entire field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in the fur, teeth, and musculature. One wolf faces upper right while the other is oriented downward, their open jaws confronting each other at the center of the design. The circular legend reads 'THE WOLF WHO WINS' along the upper right periphery and 'THE WOLF YOU FEED IS' along the lower left periphery, the text following the curve of the coin's edge. The antiqued finish enhances the dramatic contrast between the raised relief of the wolves and the recessed background areas. |
