| Obverse description | The national emblem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic occupies the central field, depicting a stylised landscape with a hydroelectric dam, paddy fields, and forest, enclosed within a wreath of rice stalks tied at the base with a decorative ribbon. A hammer and sickle appear at the centre of the emblem, surmounted by a five-pointed star. The circular legend in Lao script reads 'ສາທາລະນະລັດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ປະຊາຊົນລາວ' (Lao People's Democratic Republic), running along the periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '50' dominates the upper field in bold relief, below which the denomination in Lao script 'ຫ້າສິບອັດ' (fifty att) is inscribed. A detailed depiction of a freshwater fish, rendered in fine relief, occupies the lower central field, flanked on either side by palm trees suggesting a tropical riverside scene. The date '1980' appears in the exergue in Arabic numerals. A beaded inner border encircles the entire design. |
