| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the bust within an inner circle, while the outer legend reads NIUE ISLAND 2021 along the upper periphery and 5 DOLLARS along the lower periphery, all in raised Latin lettering. The coin is struck in antiqued finish, lending the fields a rich, aged patina that accentuates the high-relief portrait. |

| Reverse description | Highly detailed, high-relief portrait of an ox head rendered in three-quarter left-facing view, occupying the majority of the antiqued field. The powerful musculature, curved horns, and expressive eye of the animal are rendered with exceptional sculptural depth against a textured background. To the right of the ox's head, a raised circular cartouche bears the mintage edition number 96 displayed on two lines, indicating the individual serial number of this piece within the limited issue of 96 examples. |
