| Obverse description | At center, the Icelandic quartered shield bearing the national cross, enclosed within a wreath of leafy branches tied at the base with a bow, the whole composition rendered in fine relief. The date is positioned prominently in the upper field above the shield, flanked on either side by the tips of the encircling wreath. The design is restrained and heraldic in character, with the cross-divided shield occupying the central field and the foliate wreath forming a continuous border around it. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '50 AURAR' is inscribed in the central field in two lines, with the numeral '50' prominently displayed above the word 'AURAR'. The country name 'ÍSLAND' appears as the upper legend arching across the top of the reverse. Flanking the central legend on both sides are stylized sprays of pubescent birch (Betula pubescens), Iceland's only endemic tree, rendered in fine botanical detail with characteristic ovate leaves. The overall design is clean and symmetrical, with the foliate motifs providing an ornamental frame to the denomination. |
