| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the design by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB appearing below the truncation. The field features a subtle iridescent blue coloring. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' appears on a decorative scroll cartouche at the base, flanked by foliate ornaments, while a crowned orb with crossed swords and laurel branches forms an elaborate decorative border at the apex. The legends 'ELIZABETH II' and 'NIUE' are inscribed below the portrait, with the date '2014' above. |

Niue has operated as a prolific licensing hub for commemorative silver since the 1990s, contracting its coinage rights to external minting programs — primarily through the New Zealand Mint — while retaining nominal issuing authority. The embedded zirconia crystals are an applied decorative element added post-strike, a production method common to the novelty bullion market rather than anything derived from Niuean monetary history.
