The denomination numeral 50 appears at the top of the field, with the circular legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arching around the periphery, reading left and right from the base.

Reverse description Left-facing uniformed bust of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin occupying the central field, rendered in a restrained, realistic portrait style engraved by Otakar Španiel. The legend J·V·STALIN arches along the upper left periphery, while the date 21·XII·1949, commemorating Stalin's 70th birthday, is inscribed along the upper right rim. The truncation of the bust merges naturally into the lower field, with no exergue line.
