| Obverse description | The Zimbabwe Bird, an iconic soapstone sculptural motif originating from the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and dating to between the 12th and 14th centuries, is depicted in left-facing profile at centre. The effigy represents the national symbol of Zimbabwe, associated with the ancient Gokomere-Shona culture and the Monomotapa Empire. The date appears in the lower field beneath the bird. The legend 'ZIMBABWE' arcs along the upper periphery. |

| Reverse description | A radiant rising sun, symbolic of national independence, is depicted at lower left, with elongated rays fanning outward across the field. To the right of the sun, a naturalistic rocky kopje landscape with trees is rendered in low relief, evoking the distinctive Zimbabwean terrain. The bold denomination numeral '50' dominates the upper portion of the field, set against the radiating sunburst. The overall composition conveys themes of freedom and the natural heritage of Zimbabwe. |
