| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of the Bank of Russia — the double-headed eagle after the design of Ivan Bilibin — is displayed within a beaded circle. A semicircular legend reading «БАНК РОССИИ» (Bank of Russia) curves beneath the eagle. Along the outer rim, the denomination «ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ РУБЛЕЙ» (Fifty Roubles) appears at the top and the date «1999» at the bottom. To the left of the eagle, the metal designation and fineness (Au 900) are inscribed; to the right, the fine metal content (7.78 g) and the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД) are noted. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a profile self-portrait of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin in left-facing bust, rendered in high relief against a plain field. Directly beneath the portrait appears Pushkin's facsimile signature in cursive script, accompanied by a goose quill pen — a hallmark attribute of the poet. Below these elements, the birth and death years «1799» and «1837» are inscribed on either side. The overall composition is austere and elegant, emphasizing the poet's distinguished profile and literary legacy. |
