| Obverse description | The obverse features a central medallion bearing the Public Seal of Niue, surmounted by a royal crown, with the legend PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE arching above and the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on a ribbon below. The seal is depicted in high relief against an elaborate field populated with an array of historical weapons rendered in antiqued finish, including axes, spears, lances, a flail, and other implements of war, evoking the series theme. The series title LEGENDARY WARRIORS arches along the upper border, while the denomination FIVE DOLLARS and the specification FINE SILVER 2024 2 OZ 999 are inscribed around the lower and lateral periphery in bold raised lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief equestrian portrait of Genghis Khan mounted on a powerful warhorse, rendered in antiqued silver with selective gold gilding applied to the warrior's lamellar armour, helmet, belt fittings, and saddle trappings, creating a striking contrast against the antique silver field. The conqueror is depicted in three-quarter view, clad in intricately detailed Mongol battle armour and a domed helmet, holding the reins firmly as a large winged eagle rises behind his left shoulder. In the background, an Asian fortified palace or citadel is visible to the left, while a cavalry battle scene with mounted warriors and banners unfolds in the middle distance to the right, evoking the vast military campaigns of the Mongol Empire. The legend GENGHIS KHAN is incised in bold Roman capitals along the upper arc of the field. |
