| Obverse description | The obverse features the Public Seal of Niue centrally positioned in the field, depicting the crowned royal cipher surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown, encircled by an ornamental wreath of stylised foliage with diamond-shaped devices, and supported below by two crossed ceremonial paddles. A circular legend within the seal reads PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE, while a scroll beneath the central device bears the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI. Surrounding legends arranged radially around the field read NIUE at the top, 50 CENTS to the right, 2026 at the lower right, AU 9999 at the lower left, and 1/1000 OZ to the left. |

| Additional information |
Niue has issued gold Panda-themed pieces under licensing arrangements that mirror the Chinese Mint's own Panda series, effectively producing a parallel collector market in fractional gold. At 0.0311 grams — one-thousandth of a troy ounce — this is among the smallest gold coins in regular production anywhere, a format that exists almost entirely because modern precision minting technology finally made it viable without consistent striking failures.
