| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue displayed centrally within a raised circular cartouche, surmounted by a royal crown and encircled by the legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE, with the Niuean motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on a ribbon beneath. Surrounding the central seal, an elaborate high-relief composition depicts an array of historical weapons — including axes, spears, swords, daggers, a flail, and a shield — radiating outward in a dynamic sunburst arrangement, evoking the martial theme of the Legendary Warriors series. The outer legend reads LEGENDARY WARRIORS along the upper arc and FINE SILVER 2023 FIVE DOLLARS 2 oz 999 distributed around the lower and lateral fields. The entire surface is treated with an antiqued finish, enhancing the sculptural depth of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief battle scene depicting Alexander the Great mounted on his rearing warhorse Bucephalus, brandishing a sword aloft as he charges over a fallen enemy warrior in the foreground who raises a shield in defense. Alexander's armored figure and his circular Macedonian shield are selectively gilt in gold, providing a striking chromatic contrast against the antiqued silver field. A dramatic landscape of mountains, fortress walls, and a billowing cape fills the background, conveying the grandeur of his military campaigns. The curved legend ALEXANDER THE GREAT arcs along the upper rim of the field in bold relief. |
