| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Rwanda occupies the central field, depicting a shield bearing a traditional Rwandan knot motif and wavy lines, supported by a hand holding two interlaced serpents at the base, flanked by a sorghum plant to the left and a coffee branch to the right, with a radiant sun above. A ribbon scroll at the top of the arms bears the legend REPUBULIKA Y'U RWANDA, while a lower scroll reads UBUMWE-UMURIMO-GUKUNDA IGIHUGU. The outer legend BANKI NKURU Y'U RWANDA curves along the upper periphery, and the denomination AMAFARANGA 50 MIRONGO ITANU is inscribed along the lower periphery in large raised characters. |

| Reverse description | The three-masted sailing ship Victoria is depicted in full sail, navigating to the left across a detailed seascape. A compass rose appears in the upper right field, and a nautical sextant or astrolabe instrument is positioned at the upper centre. The design commemorates the Victoria, the first vessel to circumnavigate the globe as part of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition. The surrounding legend and inscriptions identify the coin's bullion specification and subject. |
