| Obverse description | Truncated bust of Chiang Kai-shek facing left, rendered in high relief against a flat field. A circular Chinese legend surrounds the effigy, reading from upper right to upper left: 中華民國五十年 (Republic of China Year 50), with the commemorative legend 建國紀念 (Founding of the Nation Commemoration) arcing across the lower field beneath the portrait. The design is bold and cleanly struck, with the subject depicted in a plain military collar. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing the two-character Chinese denomination 壹圓 (One Yuan) rendered in archaic seal-script style within a recessed rectangular cartouche, set against a plain field. Encircling the denomination is an ornate wreath composed of plum blossom branches in full flower with buds, the stems intertwining around the lower portion of the design to form a near-complete decorative ring. The overall composition is finely detailed and naturalistic in the rendering of the blossoms. |
