| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Raphael Maklouf, occupying the central field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim and NIUE along the upper right rim, with the date 2001 inscribed along the lower right, all separated by raised dots. The Pobjoy Mint initials PM appear below the portrait truncation. The highly polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the relief of the effigy. |

| Additional information |
Niue has long leased its sovereign coinage rights as a revenue stream, producing licensed collector issues with little connection to the island's 1,600-person population. This 2001 Snoopy piece was part of a wave of such programs capitalizing on the Peanuts franchise's centennial-adjacent marketing push — Charles Schulz had died in February 2000, just hours before the final original strip ran in Sunday papers.
At 3.11 g of .999 gold, these were priced directly against spot with a collector premium, sold primarily through television shopping channels and coin clubs in the United States and Japan.
