| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Public Seal of Niue, depicting a decorative plant motif within a beaded circle, surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by stylised arabesque flourishes; two schematic horse figures appear at the left and right of the seal. The Arabic legend 'كنوز الخليج' (Treasures of the Gulf) arcs prominently across the upper field in calligraphic script. The lower arc carries the Latin inscriptions 'TREASURES OF THE GULF', the denomination '50 DOLLARS', and the date '2024', all separated by raised dot stops; the Czech Mint privy mark 'CM' appears in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed Arabian horse in full gallop is rendered in high relief at centre, depicted rearing dynamically to the right with mane and tail flowing. The horse is set against an ornate background of interlocking Arabic calligraphic script forming a decorative border across the left side, lower arc, and upper arc of the field, executed in a traditional Islamic artistic style. The fineness inscription '1 oz Au 999.9' appears in the lower right field in small Latin characters. The composition showcases exceptional craftsmanship, combining naturalistic equine portraiture with stylised calligraphic ornamentation. |

| Additional information |
Niue's bullion coin program operates under a longstanding agreement with the New Zealand Mint, which produces these issues on behalf of the island territory's government — a arrangement that has made Niue one of the more prolific legal-tender bullion issuers despite having a population of roughly 1,500 people. The nominal face value bears no relationship to anything; it exists solely to satisfy the legal-tender requirement for collector and investor markets.
