| Obverse description | At center, the Russian State Emblem — a double-headed eagle with wings displayed, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The denomination ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ РУБЛЕЙ (Fifty Roubles) is inscribed along the upper arc in large Cyrillic letters, while the issuer's name БАНК РОССИИ (Bank of Russia) curves along the lower arc, both separated from the central device by a beaded border. The date 1999 Г. is prominently placed in the lower field, flanked by the fineness designation АU 900 to the lower left and the weight figure 7,78 to the lower right, with the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД) at the far right. |

| Reverse description | A panoramic commemorative composition depicting architectural landmarks of both nations side by side beneath a rising sun with radiating rays and stylized clouds in the upper field. To the left, the Spasskaya Tower and Kremlin wall of Moscow are rendered in fine detail, while to the right, a traditional Chinese imperial hall — evocative of the Forbidden City — is shown with characteristic curved rooflines. At center, a shield-shaped cartouche bearing the numeral 50 above the Cyrillic legend ЛЕТ (years) joins the two architectural vignettes symbolically. Below the central design, a four-line Cyrillic inscription reading УСТАНОВЛЕНИЯ ДИПЛОМАТИЧЕСКИХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ С КНР (Establishment of Diplomatic Relations with the PRC) occupies the lower field. |
