| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination '50' rendered in large, bold numerals dominating the central field, with the currency symbol 'CR$' inscribed in smaller characters immediately below. The country name 'BRASIL' appears as a legend along the upper portion of the field, and the date of issue is inscribed vertically along the left side. The design is stark and typographic in character, with no figurative motifs, giving the face a clean, modern appearance typical of high-inflation transitional coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed, naturalistic portrait of a jaguar (Panthera onca), depicted in a resting pose with its head turned to face the viewer, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The animal's characteristic spotted coat, powerful musculature, and alert facial expression are rendered with considerable artistic precision. A rectangular cartouche in the upper right of the field contains the species name 'ONCA PINTADA' inscribed in two lines, serving as both legend and design element. The composition reflects Brazil's wildlife conservation series, celebrating the jaguar as an iconic endangered species native to the South American continent. |
