| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring, with a beaded necklace visible at the truncation. The portrait, engraved by Raphael David Maklouf, bears the engraver's initials 'RDM' at the bust truncation. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left periphery, while 'NIUE' and the date '1997' are positioned along the right periphery, separated by a raised dot. The mirror-polished proof field contrasts elegantly with the finely detailed relief of the effigy. |

| Reverse description | A close-up portrait of the face and crown of the Statue of Liberty dominates the reverse, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail. The seven-pointed radiate crown is depicted from a frontal perspective, filling the upper portion of the field. The denomination '$50' appears in the right field beside the neck of the figure. The reverse field carries a polished proof finish, enhancing the contrast between the finely sculpted effigy and the mirror-like background. |
