| Obverse description | A standing female figure representing the Philippines is depicted in left profile, wearing a flowing gown, striking an anvil with a hammer held in her right hand — an allegory of industry and labor. A smoking volcano rises in the background at right, symbolizing the archipelago's natural landscape. The legend FIFTY CENTAVOS arcs along the upper field, with FILIPINAS inscribed below along the lower periphery. The design is executed in a neoclassical style consistent with American colonial coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A heraldic American bald eagle with wings fully spread is displayed at center, perched atop a U.S. shield bearing horizontal stripes in the lower portion and a row of stars across the chief, with olive branches beneath the eagle's talons. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the upper periphery, reading from left to right. The date appears in the lower exergue, flanked by raised dots. The composition closely mirrors the reverse design used on other Philippine-American colonial silver coinage of the era. |
