| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II after the effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear beneath the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and NIUE ISLAND along the upper right, separated by the bust. The denomination 50 CENTS is inscribed along the lower arc, all within a beaded border on a proof-finish field. |

| Additional information |
Niue's novelty sports series from the mid-2000s targeted the collector gift market rather than any numismatic tradition — the island nation's fiscal arrangement with New Zealand made it a convenient vehicle for commemorative licensing deals. This hockey piece was issued under that framework, with production handled entirely offshore.
