| Obverse description | Against a mirror-polished field, the obverse bears a relief depiction of the State Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation centrally positioned, with the semicircular legend 'РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ' arcing above along the rim, flanked on both sides by doubled rhombic ornaments. Below the coat of arms, the precious metal designation and fineness ('Au 999') appear to the left, while the fine metal content and the Saint Petersburg Mint monogram (СПМД) are placed to the right. At the bottom centre, a three-line inscription reads 'БАНК РОССИИ', the denomination '50 РУБЛЕЙ', and the year of issue '2021 г.' |

| Additional information |
Part of Russia's long-running regional series, this issue commemorates Nizhny Novgorod's 800th anniversary. Founded in 1221 by Grand Prince Yuri II at the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers, the city served for centuries as a critical eastern trading post — its annual Makaryev Fair, relocated there in 1817 after a catastrophic fire destroyed its original monastery site, was once the largest trade fair in the world by volume.
The Bank of Russia issued multiple denominations tied to this anniversary, making this gold piece one node in a broader commemorative program rather than a standalone issue.
