| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central medallion bearing the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered after the design by Ian Rank-Broadley, engraver's initials IRB appearing below the truncation. The portrait is set within a recessed circular field bordered by a raised inner ring, with the legend NIUE ISLAND arcing above and the date 2021 to the right. The denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed below the portrait along the lower arc of the border. Surrounding the entire central medallion, the broad outer field features an elaborate antiqued high-relief design of swirling, wave-like forms evoking turbulent waters or flames, extending to the coin's milled rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a series drawing from the classic sixteenth-century Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi (Investiture of the Gods), in which Ne Zha — a preternaturally powerful child deity — kills Ao Bing, third son of the Dragon King of the East Sea, after a confrontation at the shore. The episode triggers a cosmic diplomatic crisis between the mortal and dragon realms. Niue has functioned as a licensing vehicle for large-format commemorative issues since the early 2000s, its sovereignty providing the legal tender framework while production and distribution are handled entirely offshore.
The sandwich construction — copper core between silver outer layers — was driven by cost engineering: it delivers the visual and tactile weight of a massive silver coin at a fraction of the all-silver price.
