The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left periphery and 'NIUE' along the upper right, with the denomination '500 DOLLARS' inscribed vertically along the right field. The date '2021' is positioned prominently in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished mirror field, characteristic of proof coinage. |
