| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Public Seal of Niue enclosed within a wreath of stylized foliage, surmounted by a royal crown. Crossed paddles appear beneath the seal, with the motto legend ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI inscribed on a scroll below. The denomination and issuer legend are arranged in a circular band around the central device, with the fineness and weight specification inscribed at the base. The surrounding field is rendered in high relief with an elaborate underwater scene of branching coral formations and small fish, framing the central seal. |

| Reverse description | A large, highly detailed Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, oriented to the left with its elaborate flowing fins and tail fully displayed. The fish's body and fins are rendered with vivid polychromatic coloring, transitioning from deep cobalt blue on the head and body through crimson red and magenta to electric blue at the fin tips, applied via ruthenium plating and selective coloring techniques. The textured background field is struck in high relief showing aquatic vegetation and coral elements in ruthenium-plated silver, providing a dramatic contrast to the colored central motif. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
