| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse reproduces in full color the famous WWII nose art of the B-17 Flying Fortress known as the Memphis Belle, depicting a pin-up figure of a young woman dressed in a red outfit and red high-heeled shoes, leaning dynamically against a diagonal pole. The name Memphis Belle is inscribed in large yellow cursive script occupying the left and central field, with circular target motifs scattered throughout the background. Fourteen colored bomb symbols arranged in two rows to the lower right record the aircraft's completed combat missions. The legend WWII NOSE ART arcs along the upper periphery, MEMPHIS BELLE appears along the lower border, and the purity mark 999 FINE SILVER is incused in the right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Memphis Belle was the first USAAF B-17 to complete 25 combat missions over Europe with its crew intact, finishing that threshold run in May 1943. The aircraft and its crew were immediately pulled from combat and sent on a war bonds tour across the United States — the mission was propaganda as much as reward. Niue has issued dozens of pop-culture and military commemoratives under its licensing arrangements, using New Zealand's monetary framework to fund issues that have no domestic circulation relevance whatsoever.
