| Obverse description | The obverse features the official emblem of the XX Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games — a stylized lattice design in polished relief against a frosted field, evoking a snowflake or crystalline structure. The five interlocking Olympic rings are depicted at the bottom center of the design. The legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription 'torino 2006' appears in the official Games typeface at the lower center. The Rome Mint mark 'R' is positioned to the left of the central device, with the designer's initial 'm' visible to the lower right of the emblem. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved view of the Piazza San Carlo (St. Charles Square) in Turin, dominated by the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia in the central field, with the Baroque facades of the twin churches framing the background in low relief. To the left, a stylized figure of a modern speed skater is rendered in dynamic linear form, contrasting with the classical architecture. The denomination '50 EURO' appears in large numerals at the lower right, with the date '2005' inscribed at the lower left. The engraver's signature 'U. PERNAZZA' is incused at the lower right of the central composition, and the legend 'XX GIOCHI OLIMPICI INVERNALI' arcs along the upper border. |
