| Obverse description | Central circular medallion bearing the right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait style. The legend ELIZABETH II flanks the effigy vertically on the left, while FIVE DOLLARS appears vertically on the right, and NIUE is inscribed horizontally at the top, all within a beaded border. The date 2015 appears below the medallion, with the specifications 70 g and 999 FINE SILVER inscribed in the lower field of the rectangular flan. The surrounding field of the rectangular planchet displays a brushed matte finish, contrasting with the polished medallion relief. |

| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from Gustav Klimt's celebrated 1907–1908 oil painting 'The Kiss', rendered with gold finishing across the upper portion of the rectangular flan. The composition depicts the richly gilded, ornament-covered robes of the embracing figures at the upper right, set against a luminous gold background executed with applied gold finishing. The lower foreground features a vibrant naturalistic field of wildflowers and colorful blossoms in greens, reds, and yellows, faithfully reproducing Klimt's characteristic Jugendstil decorative style. This tile represents the tenth of a fifteen-part mosaic series, designed so that multiple coins may be assembled to reconstruct the complete masterpiece. |
