| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the lower left field, rendered in fine relief after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait. A large, dynamically composed flock of soaring pigeons in high relief fills the upper and central field, their outstretched wings creating a dramatic sense of movement. The circular legend around the upper rim reads NIUE ISLAND 2015, while ELIZABETH II and 700 DOLLARS are inscribed along the lower rim. The purity designation Ag 999,9 and the mint mark IRB mw appear in the field. The overall design integrates the portrait and the birds into a unified, sculptural composition typical of large-format prestige issues from the Mint of Poland. |

| Reverse description | A detailed portrait of Pope John Paul II is depicted in three-quarter view, his head bowed in prayer and his hands clasped around a processional crucifix, conveying a mood of deep devotion. The dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is rendered in fine engraved detail in the left background, providing an unmistakable ecclesiastical setting. A small gold-colored accent element appears at the upper right of the design. The curved legend IOANNES PAULUS II arcs along the upper rim, with the papal birth and death dates 18.05.1920-02.04.2005 inscribed across the upper field. The composition reflects the high-relief artistry characteristic of commemorative masterpiece coins produced by the Mint of Poland. |
