Obverse lettering ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND IRB · 50 CENTS ·
Reverse description Central colored insert on a pink background depicting two weightlifters in action — a modern athlete in a red uniform performing a clean-and-jerk lift with a blue-plated barbell overhead, juxtaposed with an ancient Greek athlete carrying stone weights, evoking the classical origins of the sport. Chinese characters for Beijing are printed repeatedly across the background of the insert. Flanking the central disc are raised depictions of the Parthenon inscribed ATHENS to the left and the Temple of Heaven inscribed BEIJING to the right, each framed by an olive wreath branch. The legend FROM GREECE TO CHINA arcs across the upper field, with the dates 2004 TO 2008 inscribed at the base.
