| Obverse description | The central field features the crowned Public Seal of Niue, comprising a heraldic shield flanked by a ribbon scroll bearing the Niuean motto 'ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI', encircled by a decorative DNA double-helix ring. Surrounding this central medallion is a segmented outer border divided into ten radiating panels, each inscribed with a landmark scientific milestone and its corresponding year, arranged clockwise from the upper register. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' and the date '2026' appear below the central seal, while the fineness mark 'Ag 999' is positioned to the right of the seal. The entire design is rendered in antiqued high relief, imparting a dramatic contrast between the recessed fields and the raised elements. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed, high-relief composition fills the entire field with allegorical and representational imagery evoking ten landmark scientific achievements of the past century. Arranged radially around a central raised medallion, the vignettes include: a sheep's head (cloning of Dolly), a DNA double helix strand, a particle collision burst (Higgs boson discovery), a scientist at a microscope, a stylised sheep cell and virus particle (HIV identification), a microprocessor circuit board with the inscription 'C4004', an astronaut in a spacesuit (Moon landing), a DNA sequencing gel, a human profile with double-helix motif (Human Genome Project), and a mushroom cloud (atomic bomb development). The central medallion bears a stylised eye above two open hands, with the legend '100 YEARS OF SCIENCE' inscribed within the inner circle. The entire reverse is executed in deeply sculpted antiqued relief, creating pronounced shadow and texture throughout the field. |
