| Obverse description | Crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, wearing a pearl drop earring and pearl necklace. The Queen's portrait is rendered in fine relief against a flat field, with the floral royal crown depicted in considerable detail. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'NIUE · 5 DOLLARS' to the right, with the date '2012' positioned at the base of the coin, all separated by raised dot stops. The coin bears an antiqued finish giving the surfaces a distinctive aged appearance. |

| Reverse description | Conjoined busts in high relief of Napoleon Bonaparte and Tsar Alexander I of Russia facing right, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the 1812 Franco-Russian War. Napoleon is depicted in the foreground wearing his characteristic military uniform adorned with decorations and epaulettes, while Alexander I appears slightly behind and to the left. The background features an elaborate allegorical scene evoking the burning of Moscow, with flames, architectural elements suggesting the Kremlin towers, and military accoutrements to the right. The date '1812' is inscribed in bold numerals at the top of the field. The overall composition is executed in antiqued fine silver with deeply modelled sculptural relief. |
