| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Niue occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown and flanked on either side by sprigs of silver fern. The quarters of the shield display four stars of the Southern Cross, three sailing vessels, a native figure, a sheaf of wheat, and crossed implements, all rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend NIUE arcs along the left periphery and the date 1996 along the right, both in upright Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | A detailed high-relief rendering of the full-rigged sailing ship HMS Bounty dominates the field, depicted under full sail upon stylised waves, with a compass rose in the upper left field. The denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed vertically to the left of the vessel in two lines, while the legend THE BOUNTY arcs along the right periphery in bold upright Latin lettering. The composition conveys the celebrated 18th-century British Royal Navy vessel associated with the famous mutiny of 1789. |
