| Reverse description | The central field presents a finely detailed topographic relief of Yu Shan (Mount Jade), Taiwan's highest peak, with deeply sculpted rocky ridges and rugged terrain rendered in meticulous high relief against a mirror-polished field. Immediately below the mountain, a bilingual inscription in Chinese and Latin script identifies the peak as '玉山 Mt. Jade, Taiwan'. The large denomination numeral '50' flanked by its Chinese character equivalent '圓' occupies the lower central field, with the purity designation '純銀999' inscribed beneath. The curved Latin legend 'XXXIV BASEBALL WORLD CUP' arcs along the upper border. |

| Additional information |
Taiwan hosted the 34th Baseball World Cup in 2001, one of the few times the tournament returned to the island that had long been a dominant force in amateur international baseball. The Taiwanese national team, perennially competitive at the amateur level, had claimed multiple World Cup titles by that point — a fact that gave this commemorative genuine local resonance rather than the hollow civic boosterism that marks so many sports issues.
The .999 fine specification distinguishes this from earlier Taiwanese silver commemoratives, which typically used .925.
