| Reverse description | Right-facing portrait bust of Dwight D. Eisenhower dominates the central field, depicted in civilian attire with closely cropped hair and a resolute expression. To the left of the portrait, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is inscribed in bold raised lettering across four lines, beneath which five five-pointed stars — referencing Eisenhower's rank of General of the Army — are arranged in a scattered formation against a darkened, frosted field. The commemorative date range '· 1969-2019 ·' arcs across the upper border, while the lower arc bears the legend 'PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER', together marking the fiftieth anniversary of his passing. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a Pacific micro-state licensing arrangement since the 1990s, issuing gold and silver collector pieces under New Zealand's oversight while generating revenue through numismatic sales rather than circulation. This half-gram format — essentially a novelty bullion fragment — became commercially viable only after advances in small-diameter die technology made sub-gram gold strikes economically practical for private mints around 2010.
