| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a right-facing crowned and draped bust designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear truncated below the portrait. The legend NIUE ISLAND arcs along the upper left periphery, with the date 2017 positioned at the top and ELIZABETH II along the right. The denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower border, separated by dot stops. The design is set within a polished proof field with a beaded inner border, characteristic of the Czech Mint's high-relief striking technique. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Rumcajs, the beloved Czech animated cartoon outlaw character originally created by illustrator Radek Pilař, rendered in a lively, rounded style faithful to the original animated series. The squat, bearded robber-hero is shown in full figure, wearing his iconic tall hat, boots, and cape, with one hand raised in a waving gesture, striding across a stylised landscape in the lower field. The character's name RUMCAJS arcs boldly in large raised lettering across the upper portion of the field. The engraver's initials IH for Irena Hradecká appear in the lower left field, while copyright and licensing inscriptions run vertically along the right inner border. The composition is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof background. |
