| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue set within the body of a leaping tiger rendered in antiqued silver, the coin itself being shaped in the form of the animal. The seal appears as a small circular device at center-left within the design field. A rectangular cartouche in the lower field bears the legends NIUE above 1 DOLLAR 2024. The entire surface of the coin is covered with intricate swirling Celtic and Scythian-inspired knotwork ornamental patterns that follow the contours of the tiger's body, with the coin's irregular outline replicating the leaping feline form. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic leaping tiger rendered in high relief with selective gold gilding highlighting the elaborate ornamental scrollwork and interlaced knotwork patterns that adorn the animal's body. The tiger is shown in full profile mid-leap, with its jaws agape revealing fangs, its muscular form conveying power and motion. The surface decoration combines Scythian animal-style art with flowing Celtic-inspired spiral and interlace motifs, applied in contrasting gilded and polished silver finishes. The coin's flan itself is die-cut into the silhouette of the leaping tiger, forming an irregular shaped planchet that constitutes a tally piece, the second of a two-part set. |
