| Obverse description | The coin is struck in the shaped silhouette of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in lateral profile facing left. At center, the diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, rendered in moderate relief with engraver's initials IRB below the truncation. Flanking the portrait, the legends ELIZABETH II and NIUE appear to the left, with 5 DOLLARS and 2021 to the right, all in bold sans-serif lettering. The copyright notice © UCS LLC and Amblin is inscribed in the upper field. The entire design conforms to the T. rex shaped flan, with a matte antiqued finish applied to the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, three-dimensional high-relief depiction of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in dynamic lateral pose, facing right with jaws open wide to reveal rows of sharply rendered teeth. The musculature, skin texture, and skeletal structure of the creature are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision across the shaped flan, which itself follows the exact silhouette of the dinosaur. The long tail extends to the left, counterbalancing the massive head and torso, while the forelimbs and powerful hind legs are fully articulated. The antiqued finish accentuates the deep relief and textural detail of the design. No legends appear on the reverse. |
