The $5 collector's coin was issued in 2024 by Niue and is minted in 999 pure Ag silver. This is a collector's issue, struck in high relief, with an oxidized finish and selective coloring that highlights the drama of the scene depicted.

The reverse features the inscription "NIUE 2024 5 DOLLARS Ag 999" and the national coat of arms – the Public Seal of Niue. The central composition depicts several elegantly dressed men in hats standing in front of a monumental building with columns and the inscription "Family Rotunda." They are holding suitcases, suggesting a meeting of financial or mafia nature. The entire scene is seen through the sights of a gun, with a circle and cross intersecting the image, creating an atmosphere of suspense, surveillance, and potential assassination. Two circular apertures are visible at the top, a structural element of the design.

The obverse is titled "CAMORRA GANGS" and depicts a dynamic shootout scene in the style of the 1920s and 1930s. In the center is a motorcycle and several armed men dressed in distinctive suits and hats from the era. A retro-style car is parked nearby, and banknotes are scattered on the cobblestone street. In the foreground lies an open suitcase filled with cash, its interior accented in red, symbolically emphasizing the brutality of the events. In the background are Italian inscriptions such as "Ristorante La Mia Matera – La Piazza," suggesting the context of the Italian criminal organization, the Camorra.

The whole creates a coherent, cinematic narrative presenting the world of organized crime, rendered with great attention to detail and spatial depth.
