| Reverse description | A sinuous Chinese celestial dragon rendered in bold relief dominates the central field, depicted in a dynamic coiling posture with elaborately detailed scales, claws, and flowing whiskers, pursuing a flaming pearl in the upper left. The Chinese character 龍 (dragon) appears in the upper right field within a rectangular cartouche. The border is composed of a continuous Greek-key meander pattern framing the design. The inscription 1 oz 9999 FINE GOLD is incused along the lower exergue. The overall aesthetic draws on traditional Chinese artistic conventions appropriate to the Lunar New Year series. |

| Additional information |
Niue's gold bullion program operates under a longstanding licensing arrangement that lets the island territory issue coins struck almost entirely for collector export — virtually none circulate domestically on an island of roughly 1,500 people. The 2024 lunar issue continues a series timed to the Chinese zodiac calendar, a market segment that drives significant secondary demand across Southeast Asia and the Chinese diaspora collector base.
The Dragon year falls on a twelve-year cycle, making 2024 the first Dragon issue since 2012.
