| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief bust portrait of a Tyrannosaurus rex rendered in a naturalistic style, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The dinosaur is depicted in left-facing profile with its massive jaws open wide, revealing rows of prominent serrated teeth rendered in sharp detail against a frosted, matte background field. The textured skin of the neck and shoulders is finely engraved, conveying musculature and scale detail. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the dramatic prehistoric subject matter to dominate the design entirely. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing authority since the 1990s, leveraging a longstanding currency arrangement with New Zealand to produce legal tender issues under its own name. The paleontological theme here is commercially driven — the dinosaur series has sold well in Asian and American collector markets where small-format gold appeals to entry-level buyers. At one gram, this is essentially a novelty bullion piece rather than a circulation issue; Niue's actual population hovers around 1,500.
