| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Rwanda occupies the centre of the field, depicting a shield bearing the national motto flanked by two crossed flags and surmounted by a sun, with a laurel spray at the base. The denomination '50 FR' appears above the arms in the upper field. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'REPUBLIQUE RWANDAISE' at the top and 'INDEPENDANCE · 1961 · 1965' at the bottom, separated by raised dots. The fineness mark 'ARGOR 900/1000' is inscribed in the lower field to either side of the arms. |

| Reverse description | A finely modelled portrait bust of President Grégoire Kayibanda faces slightly to the right, rendered in high relief with careful attention to facial detail including a light moustache and formal attire with jacket and tie. The legend 'PRESIDENT' arcs along the left periphery and 'KAYIBANDA' along the right, with 'GREGOIRE' across the upper field. The date '1961' appears at the bottom of the coin, flanked by raised dots, commemorating the year of Rwandan independence. The plain field provides a polished proof-like surface characteristic of non-circulating commemorative issues. |
