| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '50' prominently displayed in the central field, with the Latin legend 'MALDIVES' arcing along the upper left periphery and the Thaana script legend 'ދިވެހި ރާއްޖޭ' (Dhivehi Raajje) curving along the upper right rim. Below the central numeral, a small decorative Thaana inscription reading 'ލާރި' appears above the Latin word 'LAARI' at the base. A stylized decorative motif, resembling a traditional Maldivian design element, is placed between the numeral and the lower legend, adding a cultural character to the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed rendering of a sea turtle (likely a green turtle, Chelonia mydas) swimming in profile toward the right, its carapace rendered with precise scute detail in the central field. A twisted rope motif frames the lower portion of the field, culminating in an ornate reef knot at the bottom center, a traditional nautical and Maldivian decorative symbol. The Gregorian year appears in the upper left field in Latin numerals and the corresponding Hijri year is inscribed in Arabic-Indic numerals in the upper right field. The mint mark 'UMA' appears below the rope knot at the base. |
