| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly colored Jurassic prehistoric scene rendered across the full oval field. In the foreground, a large sauropod dinosaur (depicted in warm ochre and brown tones) dominates the left and center, while a theropod dinosaur confronts it from the right amid lush green vegetation and flowering Jurassic plants. Two pterosaurs are depicted in flight in the uncolored upper field, rendered in silver relief against a dark background, along with a third in the lower-left. A detailed ammonite fossil relief appears in the lower-left field. The surrounding legend along the upper border reads LIFE ON EARTH · JURA · DINOSAURIA in raised Latin letters. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and collector coin issuing program since the 1970s, leveraging its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand to mint under New Zealand's monetary authority while contracting production almost entirely to foreign mints. The "Life on the Ground" series falls squarely in this tradition — thematic wildlife issues produced for the international collector market with no meaningful domestic circulation.
KM#1115 is one of dozens of Niue-issued nature series dollars from this period, most struck at the New Zealand Mint in Auckland.
