The effigy shows the Queen in right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The inscriptions on this face read ELIZABETH II, NIUE, TWO DOLLARS, and 2021.

A species of sea turtle, the hawksbill has a global distribution throughout the equatorial belt of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.

There is a smooth sliver along the side that reads TURTLE, with an inscription below the design element of FINE SILVER .999 1 OZ.

History

Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins were initially issued by the New Zealand Mint from 2010 to 2013 as the Fiji Taku. The design on the reverse was essentially the same, with the TURTLE inscription then reading TAKU instead, using the native Fijian term for the species. As of 2014, the coins have been issued for Niue.
