| Reverse description | Colorized central field depicting two traditionally dressed Chinese children celebrating the Spring Festival. The upper child, clad in a red and purple garment, leaps joyfully, while the lower child, dressed in a green and gold robe and wearing a traditional hat, lights a firecracker. A tall string of red firecrackers explodes to the right of the composition. To the left, a red square charm and the Chinese characters '恭喜發財' appear in the field, expressing the traditional New Year greeting. The date '2005' and the inscription '1 oz 999 Silver' are engraved along the lower arc within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a coin-issuing authority largely as a licensing vehicle, with the New Zealand government retaining responsibility for the island's defense and external affairs. The "Spring Festival" dollar belongs to a category of issues produced primarily for the collector market rather than circulation — Niue's resident population has hovered around 1,500, making domestic coin use essentially theoretical.
