| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of Niue centrally positioned within the field, featuring a quartered shield bearing the Southern Cross stars, three sailing vessels, a coconut palm, and a hammer and tongs, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is flanked on either side by stylised native fern fronds serving as supporters. The legend NIUE arcs along the upper left rim and the date 1996 arcs along the upper right rim, both rendered in raised Latin characters. The design is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed broadside view of HMS Resolution, Captain James Cook's three-masted sailing ship, depicted under full sail and occupying the majority of the field. The vessel is rendered with meticulous rigging detail, including multiple sails, shrouds, and a flag at the mainmast. The legend THE RESOLUTION arcs across the upper portion of the field in raised Latin letters. Below the ship, the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears on a decorative ribbon-and-star motif. The composition is set against a highly polished mirror proof background. |
