| Obverse description | Central device comprises the national arms of Kiribati rendered as a heraldic shield, depicting a frigate bird in flight above a rising sun issuing rays over stylized ocean waves. The shield occupies the majority of the field and is presented without a surrounding wreath or supporters. The legend KIRIBATI appears to the lower left and the date 1979 to the lower right, both inscribed along the bottom rim in bold Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a highly detailed depiction of a traditional Kiribati te karawa headdress — a ceremonial ornament composed of crossed frigate bird wings with a central patterned roundel of interlocking scale-like motifs, rendered in high relief and occupying the upper and central field. The denomination numeral 50 is inscribed in large bold figures in the lower central field, with the word CENTS in smaller capitals immediately below, both set against a plain field. |
