| Reverse description | A full-frontal depiction of a male Indian peacock (Pavo cristatus) displayed in full courtship pose, its magnificent tail fan spread wide to fill the entire field with intricately engraved plumage rendered in antiqued relief. The bird's head, neck, and breast are richly coloured in vibrant iridescent blues and greens, with a yellow-green scaled breast and a white-tipped crest crown. Numerous ocelli on the tail feathers are highlighted with coloured enamel in tones of green, teal, and gold, while the peacock's eye features a black crystal insert. The legend PEACOCK is arranged in spaced capital letters in an arc along the upper periphery of the field, with the bird's taloned feet visible at the base. |

Niue's legal tender coinage has functioned almost entirely as a vehicle for the New Zealand Mint's collector programs since the island nation — population under 2,000 — formalized the arrangement decades ago. The $7 denomination itself is a deliberate novelty, chosen specifically because it has no practical circulation equivalent anywhere, ensuring the piece exists purely as a collectible from the moment of issue.
