| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing a diamond diadem and drop earring, with finely detailed hair. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and NIUE ISLAND along the upper right, separated by the portrait. The denomination 25 DOLLARS and date 2017 appear in the lower field, flanked by a decorative serrated border pattern. The fineness mark Ag999 is inscribed to the lower left of the portrait, and the engraver's initials IRB appear below the bust truncation alongside the Mint of Poland mintmark. |

| Reverse description | A large stylized triskelion motif dominates the field, composed of three interlocking swirling segments evoking a yin-yang-inspired design, each containing a symbolic creature rendered in high relief: an owl (representing Wisdom) at the left in silver, a butterfly (representing Beauty) at the right with multicolour colour application, and a dove in flight (representing Freedom) at the lower centre on a black enamelled ground. The segments are further enriched with orange, green, and blue colour fills, and adorned with intricate floral scrollwork. A radiant sun motif appears at the upper centre of the design. The surrounding border features gilt decorative motifs including hearts, butterflies, suns, and flowers. The trilingual legend THE WORLD OF YOUR SOUL, МИР ТВОЕЙ ДУШИ, and ŚWIAT TWOJEJ DUSZY encircles the design in gold lettering. |
