Below the central emblem rests a decorative pedestal above a floral ornament, the whole device enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The surrounding legend is inscribed in Khmer script and runs along the inner border, which is defined by a beaded rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central wreath of laurel branches enclosing the denomination expressed in both Khmer numerals and script and in French as '50 Cent.', arranged in three horizontal lines within the wreath. The outer legend 'ROYAUME DU CAMBODGE' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals, while the date '1953' appears at the base between two small ornamental stops. The entire design is framed by a beaded border consistent with the obverse, presenting a clean and well-balanced typographic layout characteristic of Monnaie de Paris essai strikes. |
