| Obverse description | Central field depicts a traditional Maltese dgħajsa (water taxi) afloat on stylized waves beneath a radiant sun with elongated rays, with a cluster of prickly pear cacti rendered to the right. The design is executed in a bold, graphic relief style within a smooth inner circle. The legend REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA is inscribed around the periphery in spaced capital letters, with a small star at the base serving as a punctuation mark. The broad milled border frames the composition with a contrasting frosted finish, characteristic of proof-style pattern coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized Mnara — a traditional Maltese earthenware lamp cluster — rendered in high relief, depicting numerous small oil lamp vessels stacked in a pyramidal arrangement, their open spouts facing outward. The denomination '£M 50' appears in the lower left field, with '50' to the lower right, and the date '1977' inscribed along the base in evenly spaced numerals. The design is bold and modernist in conception, with the dark mirrored field providing strong contrast to the raised motif, consistent with proof pattern coinage. |
