| Obverse description | A highly detailed antiqued field depicts the Yaruga River landscape with Geralt's company crossing the river by boat, rendered in high relief with figures bearing arms visible in the middle ground and on the right bank. In the upper field, a radiating sun motif incorporates an inset yellow agate cabochon at its centre. To the left, the Public Seal of Niue appears within an ornate cartouche surmounted by a wreath and flanked by crossed swords. A ribbon banner in the upper field bears the legend YARUGA, while the lower exergue carries the inscriptions NIUE, 2023, 50 DOLLARS, and Ag 999. |

| Additional information |
The "Baptism of Fire" title refers to Charles III's coronation on 6 May 2023 — the first British coronation in seventy years, held at Westminster Abbey under the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The incorporated yellow agate is not merely decorative; agate has been associated with British royal regalia and ceremonial objects for centuries, and its geological banding means no two stones in this series are identical.
