| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the upper centre of the field, with the legend NIUE ISLAND arcing to the left and ELIZABETH II arcing to the right along the upper rim.

Dominating the lower portion of the obverse are two overlapping heraldic shields from the Rohan family coat-of-arms: the dexter shield displays a field of lozenges arranged in rows, while the sinister shield is party per pale, with lozenges on one half and ermine on the other. The denomination 250 CENTS is boldly rendered in relief at the bottom of the field. |
