| Reverse description | Standing figure of Juno, queen of the Roman gods, depicted in classical attire with attributes associated with her divine dominion over the sky and celestial phenomena. The composition draws upon iconographic traditions of ancient Roman civilization, presenting the goddess in a dignified and commanding pose surrounded by symbolic elements referencing her mythological role. The reverse field is rendered in antiqued high relief, enhancing the sculptural quality of the design. The legend JUNO appears as the principal inscription. |

| Additional information |
Niue functions as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, and its name on a coin carries no monetary weight on the island itself — the New Zealand dollar circulates there. The arrangement is purely fiduciary, licensing the Niue crown for bullion and collector issues produced almost entirely by the New Zealand Mint and similar facilities for export to international numismatic markets.
Juno, as one of the Capitoline triad, had a mint connection the ancient Romans took seriously — the phrase "moneta" itself derives from her temple on the Capitoline Hill, where Rome struck its earliest silver coinage.
