| Obverse description | A raised inner medallion bearing the right-facing draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The surrounding field is decorated in ultra-high relief with a dramatic apocalyptic battle scene featuring multiple armoured horsemen and mounted warriors amid scenes of conflict, rendered in exceptional sculptural detail. The legend ELIZABETH II and 5 DOLLARS arc respectively at upper left and upper right of the medallion, while NIUE appears at lower left and the date 2021 with the fineness mark Ag 999 at lower right. |

| Reverse description | A dramatic ultra-high relief composition depicting Death, personified as an armoured skeletal rider astride a heavily caparisoned pale horse, charging across a landscape strewn with fallen figures. The rider brandishes a gilded sickle-shaped scythe, its blade selectively gold-plated to striking effect, while an hourglass hangs at the figure's belt as a symbol of mortality. Prostrate corpses and vanquished warriors fill the lower field, conveying the devastation wrought by this biblical horseman. The arcing legend FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE appears along the upper periphery, and the inscription PALE HORSE is incuse along the lower border. |
