| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Public Seal of Niue at centre, depicting a stylised floral motif enclosed within a circular legend reading PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE, surmounted by a royal crown. The seal is flanked by decorative foliate and diamond-shaped ornamental elements, with two crossed traditional Niuean paddles rendered in relief below. The field throughout is embellished with a striking pointillist texture composed of numerous raised and recessed spherical dots of varying sizes, creating a dynamic visual effect. The denomination FIFTY DOLLARS is inscribed in bold relief along the upper arc, while the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI appears on a ribbon beneath the seal. The date 2023 is displayed along the lower rim, with the mint mark and fineness mark Ag999 visible to the right of the central device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking artistic portrait of a rabbit rendered entirely in a pointillist technique, with the image composed of hundreds of raised spherical dots and inset crystals of varying sizes across the entire field. The rabbit is depicted in close-up profile, its facial features — including the eye, nose, and fur texture — suggested purely through the contrast of polished, matte, and dark-toned spherical elements. Numerous faceted crystal stones are set at intervals throughout the field, adding brilliance and a three-dimensional optical quality to the composition. The design references the Chinese zodiac year of the Water Rabbit (2023) in a contemporary and highly decorative artistic style. No inscriptions or legends appear on this face, the design serving as a purely pictorial and ornamental composition. |
