| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in an artistically stylised portrait integrated with intricate Maya-inspired glyphic and scrollwork ornamentation that frames the bust and extends into the surrounding field. The Public Seal of Niue is depicted within a circular cartouche at centre field. The denomination legend SEVEN DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS arcs around the seal, with the date 2023 positioned below. The entire composition is set against a richly textured background of interlocking Mesoamerican relief ornament extending to the coin's milled border. |

| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of Maya civilisation iconography occupying the full reverse field. A central stepped pyramid rises from the lower register, its facade and flanking stairways rendered in fine sculptural relief with selectively gold-plated elements highlighting a Maya deity figure at the pyramid's apex and a mask motif at its base. Two elaborately attired Maya figures flank the pyramid in dynamic poses against a densely patterned background of glyphs, serpentine scrollwork, zoomorphic masks, and calendrical ornamentation extending to the milled border. The inscription MAYA CIVILIZATION appears in gilded lettering along the lower field. |
