| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two aerodynamic cyclists in close competition, rendered in high relief and shown racing at speed against a darkened field, their streamlined helmets and low riding posture emphasizing the dynamic energy of Olympic track cycling. In the lower portion of the coin, a coloured Union Jack flag is applied by pad-printing technique, with the denomination numeral 50 superimposed upon it in raised relief. The word OLYMPIC appears in capital letters along the upper arc of the design. An engraver's initial is visible in the lower right field of the cycling composition. |

Gibraltar has issued Olympic-themed coinage with notable regularity, leveraging its status as a British Overseas Territory to produce legal tender outside the constraints of Royal Mint production schedules. The colored variant of this cycling issue — distinguished from KM#1811 by the applied color layer — was produced for the collector market ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Games, delayed to 2021 by the pandemic.
