Design & Craftsmanship
The reverse brings together the Kangaroo and Emu beneath the Southern Cross, set against the expansive Australian outback. Both animals look towards the constellation above, creating a distinctly Australian interpretation of the skies of Oceania.
The Southern Cross has long been associated with the Southern Hemisphere and appears on the flags of Australia, New Zealand and several Pacific Island nations. Together with the Kangaroo and Emu, the design connects Australia's landscape and wildlife with its place within the wider Oceania region.
The obverse features an effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the inscriptions NIUE and 2 DOLLARS. The coin also carries its year of issue, which will vary according to the coin supplied.
