| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Niue occupies the central field, depicted as a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown. The quarters feature the Southern Cross stars, sailing ships, wheat sheaves, a shell, and crossed hammers, all flanked by two fern fronds as supporters. The country name NIUE arcs along the upper left rim, and the date 1992 appears at the upper right, both in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | Two dolphins are rendered in high relief against a mirror-like field: one leaps dynamically above stylized ocean waves in the upper portion of the design, while a second, larger dolphin swims horizontally across the lower field, conveying a sense of fluid motion. Fine wave lines separate the two animals. The curved legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs along the upper rim, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
