| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a pearl drop earring visible. The legend NIUE and ELIZABETH II arc across the upper field, flanking the portrait, with the date 2021 positioned to the right. The denomination 25 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines along the lower portion of the field. The overall style is consistent with the Royal Doulton-style portrait used on selected Commonwealth issues. |

| Additional information |
Niue's authority to issue legal tender coinage derives from a 1981 agreement with New Zealand, under which the self-governing island territory — population under 2,000 — has become one of the more prolific licensing vehicles in the modern bullion and commemorative market. The arrangement is entirely contractual; no gold of this kind ever circulates on Niue itself.
At 7.82 g of .9999 gold, this sits in the quarter-ounce class favored by collectors who find the half-ounce premium steep but want fine gold rather than fractional novelty sizes.
