Obverse description The quartered coat of arms of Niue occupies the central field, surmounted by the St. Edward's Crown, and flanked on either side by a sprig of fern rendered in fine relief. The shield displays traditional Niuean heraldic charges including the Southern Cross stars, sailing vessels, a conch shell, and a torch, all executed with considerable detail. The legend NIUE arcs along the upper left periphery, with the date 1992 arcing along the upper right, both in raised Latin characters against a mirror-polished proof field.

Reverse description A naturalistically rendered jaguar (Panthera onca), its spotted coat depicted with meticulous detail, stands in profile facing right atop a weathered tree branch with foliage visible to the right. The animal's muscular form and characteristic rosette markings are faithfully reproduced against a deeply recessed proof field. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower exergual area, both in raised Latin capitals.
