| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, her initials IRB appearing below the truncation. Two crossed Chinese glaives (Green Dragon Crescent Blades) rendered in high relief with selective gold gilding overlay the lower field, their blades extending toward the rim. The background field is elaborately decorated with a geometric pattern of interlocking hexagons and star motifs, while the outer border carries a traditional Chinese key-fret meander design. The legend ELIZABETH II · NIUE · 5 DOLLARS · 2020 arcs around the upper periphery, with the fineness and weight designation Ag 999 3 oz inscribed in a cartouche in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | Dynamic equestrian portrayal of Guan Yu, the celebrated Three Kingdoms-era general and deity of war, rendered in deep high relief against a antiqued silver field. The warrior is depicted in full ornate battle armour astride a rearing warhorse, wielding his iconic Green Dragon Crescent Blade polearm in his right hand while a flowing battle standard billows dramatically behind him. Traditional Chinese architectural structures and stylised landscape elements — including pine trees and pavilions — are rendered in lower relief in the background field. The Chinese characters 關羽 appear in the lower left field, while the legend FIVE TIGER GENERALS arcs along the lower left border and GUAN YU along the lower right border, all within a decorative outer rim of interlaced scroll motifs. |
