| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, diademed and draped, engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley with the initials IRB below the truncation. The effigy is set against a highly detailed antique-finish depiction of the castle of Cintra from Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher universe, rendered with intricate stonework, battlements, towers, and a portcullis gateway. A mounted knight on horseback is depicted approaching the castle gate in the lower central field. A central arched window in the castle facade is inlaid with a blue agate insert. A decorative scroll banner at the top of the field bears the legend CINTRA, while the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, NIUE, 2019, 50 DOLLARS, and Ag 999 appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief scene inspired by The Last Wish, the first book of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher book series. In the central composition, multiple fantastical characters are depicted in dynamic interaction: a tattooed warrior bearing a sword at the left, a bearded older figure at centre-left, a young woman kneeling in the centre foreground, and an armoured figure with a creature at the right, alongside a sorceress figure at the upper right. A blue agate insert is inlaid within an arched alcove in the architectural background at the centre of the field. A decorative scroll banner at the top bears the legend THE LAST WISH, and a second banner at the base carries the inscription THE WITCHER BOOK SERIES. |
