| Obverse description | The official Public Seal of Niue occupies the central field, featuring the Owl of Minerva as the principal device, clutching within its talons the Eye of Providence. The surrounding legend incorporates the Latin motto SCIENTIA IPSA POTENTIA EST along with the denomination, fineness, and territorial inscriptions ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. The design blends Masonic and classical iconography in a highly detailed relief characteristic of modern commemorative gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly rendered unfinished stepped pyramid rising from a sandy desert landscape, its apex surmounted by a radiant triangular capstone enclosing the all-seeing Eye of Providence. Flanking the base of the pyramid are two decorative torch-and-scroll cartouches. The date MMXXII appears in Roman numerals in the exergue at the base of the pyramid. The arched legend ANNUIT CŒPTIS curves above the capstone, while NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM is inscribed along the lower border in a ribbon cartouche, directly referencing the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. |
