| Obverse description | The Public Seal of Niue rendered in gold-plated high relief against a matte silver field. The central device depicts the traditional Niuean seal within a circular border of decorative zigzag patterns, flanked by a wreath of stylised laurel branches surmounted by a royal crown. Below the seal, two crossed traditional Niuean paddles are bound by a scroll bearing the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. The legend FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2024 and the fineness inscription 2 OZ 999.9 AG appearing in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's coinage program is essentially a licensing operation — the island's monetary agreement with New Zealand allows it to issue legal tender struck entirely by foreign mints for the collector market, with no expectation of circulation. The Phoenix and Dragon series falls squarely into this category, produced under bullion program arrangements that have made Niue one of the most prolific "issuer" names in modern numismatics despite having a population under 2,000.
KM#6876a distinguishes this from at least one parallel variant in the same release, suggesting a die or finish difference within the issue.
