| Obverse description | Four stylized human figures rendered in a modernist, abstracted manner stand in the central field, flanked on either side by wheat stalks symbolizing agricultural abundance. The circular legend reads 'TURKIYE CUMHURIYETI' along the upper periphery and 'HERKESE EKMEK VE KONUT' along the lower periphery, the latter phrase translating as 'Bread and Housing for Everyone,' reflecting the FAO thematic program. The design is executed in a bold, graphic style characteristic of commemorative issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '50' in large numerals occupies the central field, with 'LIRA' inscribed immediately below and the date '1977' in the lower field. The central device is framed by a wreath composed of wheat ears to the left and an olive branch to the right, meeting at the base. The Turkish crescent and star emblem appears at the top of the wreath, above the denomination. |
