| Obverse description | Right-facing draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies a raised central medallion, rendered in high relief against an elaborately decorated field featuring fantasy-themed low-relief imagery including a lute, ornamental vessel, chain mail, decorative roundels, and swirling flame motifs. The legend around the inner medallion reads '50 DOLLARS 1OZ 9999 FINE GOLD' above and 'ELIZABETH II' to the left, with 'NIUE 2022' below the portrait. The effigy bears the Maklouf-style portrait with the Queen wearing a tiara and pearl drop earring. The initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation, attributing the portrait to Ian Rank-Broadley. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene from Andrzej Sapkowski's short story 'A Grain of Truth' from the Sword of Destiny collection, showing two figures in medieval-fantasy attire standing on a cobblestone street before an architectural backdrop rendered in fine detail. The foreground figure, elaborately costumed with spiked headwear and ornate garments, faces a second cloaked figure in a gesture of confrontation or dialogue. The legend 'ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI' and 'SWORD OF DESTINY' arc across the upper field, while 'THE WITCHER BOOK SERIES' appears in bold relief across the lower portion of the field. |
