The reverse sides of the four coins commemorate different aspects of Westminster Abbey. The first coin presents the coronation chair of King Edward, which bears the name of the founder of the Abbey. The second coin, depicting the north front of the cathedral, celebrates the Gothic appearance of the abbey. The third coin belongs to world-famous writers whose remains rest in the so-called Poets' Corner - alongside the statue of William Shakespeare are the names of Lord Byron, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and William Blake. The fourth coin is inspired by the memorial to Czechoslovak airmen who fought in the service of the island kingdom during the Second World War. The obverse side, which is common to the four coins, is dedicated to the west front of the cathedral and bears the Coat of Arms of Niue and the inscriptions: "WESTMINSTER ABBEY" – the name of the set, "1 DOLLAR" – the face value of each coin and "2022" – the year of issue.
