| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is displayed prominently in the center of the field, surmounted by the curved legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA along the upper periphery. The legend BANCO NACIONAL DE CUBA arcs below the arms, with the face value 50 PESOS inscribed at the base. The heraldic design follows the standard arms of the Republic, featuring the royal palm, rising sun, and Phrygian cap within a shield, flanked by oak and laurel branches. The overall composition mirrors that of the regular-issue KM#315 coinage. |

| Reverse description | A detailed engraving of the historic steam locomotive used on the Barcelona–Mataró railway line, the first railway to operate in Spain, occupies the central field. A curved legend arcing along the upper and lateral periphery reads 140 ANIV. DEL 1er FERROCARRIL ESPAÑOL, commemorating the 140th anniversary of the line's inauguration. Above the locomotive image, the inscriptions oro fino, 1/2 OZ., and 0.999 denote fineness and weight, accompanied by the mintmark and the legend BARCELONA - MATARÓ. The commemorative year 1989 appears above the engine, while the anniversary dates 1848 - 1988 are inscribed below. The composition mirrors the regular-issue KM#315 reverse. |
