| Obverse description | Three-quarter left-facing effigy of José Enrique Rodó, the Uruguayan essayist and humanist, depicted in high relief with characteristic pince-nez spectacles and full mustache. The legend REPÚBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY curves along the upper periphery, while the birth and death years 1871 and 1917 appear in the lower field flanking the subject's name RODO inscribed prominently along the lower rim. The portrait is rendered in a detailed, naturalistic style befitting a commemorative issue. |

| Reverse description | Large bold denomination numeral 50 dominates the central field, with the inscription PESOS and date 1971 arranged below in two lines. To the left, a tall quill feather pen rises diagonally, symbolizing Rodó's literary legacy, while at the base an open book is depicted in stylized form, together representing the intellectual and written contributions of the honoree. The design is clean and modernist, with no peripheral legend, allowing the symbolic motifs to occupy the full field. |
