The obverse of the coin features the official Public Seal of Niue.

It has an inner circle of hiapo designs, representing the fonua (land), within which are stylised designs of a tree, representing life and tagata Niue (the people of Niue), surrounded by an outer circle in the form of a traditional Niuean garland of 14 seashells (representing the 14 villages of Niue), and crowned with St Edward's Crown (of the United Kingdom), representing the sovereign as head of state.

Around above between the two circles, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines (meaning "God, Niue Eternally"), below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).

The background has decorations like a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

At centre, the reverse of the coin depicts the symbol for Bitcoin, ₿, surrounded by a PCB-like design.

Around the rim, the inscriptions BITCON, VIRES IN NUMERIS (from Latin: "strength in numbers"), and 1 OZ 9999 FINE SILVER (one troy ounce of 99.99% silver).

Finish: bullion (Brilliant Uncirculated).
Packaging: in capsule, or 25 coins in heat sealed roll, or 100 in mint box.

It seems that the "Crypto" series of legal tender coins was initiated by a Singapore-based company called Rearden Metals, which has since become defunct. The series was later continued by other mints, with reverse designs based on the Bitcoin design.
