| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue rendered in high relief against a finely textured field, surmounted by a royal crown at the apex. The central device depicts the traditional Niuean seal, comprising an ornate circular motif enclosing a stylised pandanus tree, encircled by a decorative wreath of diamond-shaped elements. A scroll below the seal bears the Niuean motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI in raised lettering. The denomination FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the upper rim in bold raised Latin characters, with the date 2021 displayed prominently at the base, and the silver fineness mark Ag 999 inscribed vertically in the right field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief scene depicting a bearded conquistador or treasure-seeker, reclining amidst a hoard of gold treasure including coins, a cutlass, and a chest, set against an architectural background of Aztec stonework columns. Selective gold-gilt highlighting accentuates the treasure elements throughout the composition. A faceted blue Swarovski crystal is inlaid above the central figure, representing a precious gemstone. The entire scene is framed by an elaborate border of Aztec-style glyphs and iconographic panels rendered in antiqued silver. The Lithuanian Mint monogram appears within a cartouche at the top of the inner border. |
