| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber, a four-engine long-range aircraft widely produced and deployed during the Second World War, rendered in fine relief against the field. The aircraft is shown in profile or three-quarter view, emphasising its distinctive twin-tail and high-aspect-ratio Davis wing design. The inscription 'CONSOLIDATED LIBERATOR COASTAL COMMAND' is positioned within the legend, identifying the specific operational role of the aircraft in maritime patrol and anti-submarine duties. |

| Additional information |
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator flew more combat missions than any other American aircraft in World War II, yet it was consistently overshadowed in public memory by the B-17. More were built — over 18,000 — than any other American warplane in history. Niue's numismatic program has long issued gold fractionals tied to military aviation subjects, typically under licensing arrangements that allow relatively small mintages pitched at collector markets across the Pacific and Europe.
The .9999 fineness places this outside standard American Eagle or Maple Leaf alloy territory — a deliberate collector distinction.
