Chinese culture suggests that excellent and outstanding people are associated with the dragon, while people deemed incapable or who have no achievements are compared to other, lower creatures. The dragon is important in Chinese mythology and folklore, spreading across East Asian culture as a whole.

The obverse of all 2018 5 oz Niue Silver Double Dragon Coins includes the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile portrait is the fourth-generation design used on British and commonwealth coinage. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, it is one of the latest designs of Her Majesty during her impressively long reign as Queen of England.

On the reverse of the Niue Silver Double Dragon Coins is the depiction of two Chinese dragons. The dueling dragons, both designed in traditional Chinese visions as snake-like beasts with four legs, are featured around a flaming pearl. In this case, the pearl is the pearl of wisdom, but the pearl is also associated with immortality and energy.

The New Zealand Mint has connected the two sides of the Double Dragon coin with a unique, reverse-scalloped design frame around the very edge of the design field. This recreates the look of dragon scales.
