| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field against a mirrored proof background. The Czech Mint mark (CM) appears to the left of the portrait, and the engraver's initials IRB are incused below the truncation. The circular legend reads · NIUE ISLAND · 5 DOLLARS · ELIZABETH II · 2020, rendered in a stylised angular typeface designed by Asamat Baltaev. The entire design is framed by an ornate Greek-key meander border running along the inner edge of the rim. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a fierce mythological dragon rendered in an East Asian style, shown in a dynamic three-quarter pose with jaws agape, clawed feet extended, and scaled body coiled across the field. The creature's textured scales, horned head, and spiked dorsal ridge are rendered with exceptional sculptural depth against a deeply mirrored proof field. The engraver's monogram of Asamat Baltaev appears to the lower right within the field. The legend DRAGON arcs across the upper portion of the field in a bold, stylised angular typeface. The design is enclosed within the same ornate Greek-key meander border as the obverse. |
