Obverse description The obverse displays the Venezuelan coat of arms at center, surrounded by the national legend arcing along the upper periphery. Along the lower periphery, near the edge, appear the weight specification, date of issue, and gold fineness. The design incorporates two dates commemorating Venezuelan independence and the federal constitution, separated by the coat of arms motif. All inscriptions are rendered in raised Latin characters within a continuous border.

Reverse description The reverse is an obverse trial die, presenting an essentially plain copper field with a gold-plated rim visible around the periphery. At center, the incuse mirror-image numerals and letter '50 F' appear in reverse orientation, characteristic of an obverse trial or uniface striking used to test die alignment and relief. The field shows the natural texture and patina of the copper planchet, with no additional design elements beyond the incuse transferred impression.
