| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, set within a raised beaded border. The Queen is depicted diademed and draped, with finely detailed hair and pearl earring. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation, with the fineness mark Ag999 to the right in the field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field and NIUE ISLAND along the right, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS and date 2019 are inscribed along the lower arc. The entire obverse is rendered in antique finish, giving it a darkened, high-relief appearance. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylized Venetian carnival mask (bauta or volto-style) displayed in high relief at the centre of the field, with selective gold gilding accentuating its ornamental details. The mask is set against a detailed panoramic background depicting the iconic cityscape of Venice, including its characteristic Gothic and Renaissance architecture reflected across the lagoon. Intricate decorative elements and fine engraving detail enhance the theatrical character of the composition. The antique finish treatment lends depth and contrast to the layered design, emphasizing the opulent nature of the Venetian Carnival tradition. |
