| Obverse description | Within a heart-shaped lace-cut frame adorned with intricate folk-art filigree motifs, the right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Raphael Maklouf occupies the central field. The legend NIUE and the date 2016 arc across the upper portion of the heart, while ELIZABETH II curves along the left and 5 DOLLARS along the right. The outer rectangular field features Alpine scenery including a silhouette panorama of mountains, Swiss crosses, an edelweiss motif, and a pastoral village scene with figures, cattle, and fir trees along the lower register, all rendered in antique finish. |

| Reverse description | The reverse portrays a richly detailed numismatic scene inspired by Johanna Spyri's 1881 novel Heidi, depicting the young protagonist amid the Swiss Alpine landscape. The composition incorporates traditional Swiss folk-art papercut imagery, featuring mountain peaks, pastoral figures, grazing livestock, and characteristic Alpine flora rendered in high relief against a textured antique-finish field. Swiss cross emblems and edelweiss motifs frame the scene, evoking the cultural heritage of the Heidiland region in the Canton of Grisons. The purity and weight inscription appear within the design. |
