| Beschrijving keerzijde | The rectangular reverse depicts the Wright Brothers' Flyer biplane in dynamic three-quarter perspective, soaring above a landscape with stylised clouds in the field. In the lower left and lower right corners appear facing busts of Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright respectively, each portrayed in period dress with naturalistically rendered facial features. Between the two portraits, a rocky landscape element serves as a base for the incuse legend ORVILLE & WILBUR WRIGHT in bold relief lettering, with the surname WRIGHT rendered in a larger display font below. The mint engraver's initials DK appear discreetly in the lower right of the field. |

Niue has issued commemorative dollars under licensing agreements since the 1990s, functioning essentially as a revenue-generating program for the island territory rather than producing coins intended for domestic circulation. This Wright Brothers piece is part of that broader series of foreign-licensed issues struck at facilities well outside the Pacific.
The first powered flight at Kitty Hawk lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet — December 17, 1903. By the time the brothers filed their patent in 1906, their design had already been substantially improved over what actually flew that morning.
