Below the portrait, three ornate Gothic arch motifs in high relief fill the lower field, flanking the date 2014 at center. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' appears in the exergue. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left rim and 'NIUE ISLAND' along the right rim, both in raised Latin lettering. A small mint mark 'CM' is visible at the lower left of the portrait.

Reverse description A large, detailed facing portrait bust of Karel I (Charles I), Duke of Münsterberg-Oels, dominates the reverse field, rendered in high sculptural relief. He is depicted wearing a brimmed cap and a crown with flame-like ornaments, with long wavy hair falling to his shoulders and a short beard. The inscription 'KAREL I · MINSTERBERSKÝ' arcs along the left rim in raised Latin lettering, while the death year '+1536' appears vertically along the right rim. The portrait style evokes late-medieval Bohemian artistic tradition.
