| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The portrait features fine hair detail beneath an ornate crown, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim and NIUE appears at the top, with FIVE DOLLARS along the right rim, and the date 2021 in the lower exergue. A fine beaded inner border encircles the design. |

| Additional information |
Issued by Niue as legal tender but produced entirely for the collector market, this piece commemorates the centenary of Australian federation — specifically the 1901 political unification of six self-governing colonies into the Commonwealth. The choice of Niue as issuing authority is a commercial arrangement common among Pacific island nations, which license their monetary authority to mint operators as a revenue stream entirely disconnected from domestic circulation.
