| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova centred in the field, depicting an eagle displayed holding a cross in its beak and bearing a shield charged with the traditional aurochs head, star, rose, and crescent. The legend 'REPUBLICA' arcs along the left periphery and 'MOLDOVA' along the right, both in upright Latin lettering. The date '2012' is inscribed at the top of the field, and the denomination '50 LEI', separated from the central device by a horizontal line, appears at the bottom. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed relief depiction of the Butuceni cave monastery, carved into the natural limestone cliffs of the Orheiul Vechi landscape. The rocky escarpment, cave openings, and a small cross surmounting the monastery are rendered in a frosted, sculptural finish against a polished black field that occupies the upper right portion of the design. The curved legend 'MĂNĂSTIREA BUTUCENI' arcs along the upper periphery in an ornate, stylised Latin typeface, standing out against the contrasting dark field. |
