| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Niue occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown. The four quarters display the Southern Cross stars, traditional sailing vessels, a figure representing the island's heritage, and symbols of local industry including a sheaf and crossed implements. The shield is flanked on either side by silver fern fronds, emblematic of the Pacific island nation. The legend NIUE arcs along the upper left periphery and the date 1990 along the upper right, both rendered in bold Latin characters. |
