| 表面の銘文 | QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND 1975 |
| 裏面の説明 | A finely detailed Mauritius Kestrel (Falco punctatus) rendered in dynamic mid-flight posture, wings fully spread and talons extended downward, occupying the central field. The engraving by Christopher Ironside captures the plumage and musculature of this endangered endemic raptor with naturalistic precision. The country name MAURITIUS arcs along the upper periphery as the primary legend, while the denomination 50 RUPEES curves along the lower periphery. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

Mauritius issued this coin as part of a wave of conservation-themed commemoratives that swept Commonwealth nations through the mid-1970s, largely driven by the WWF and IUCN's push to attach endangered species to legal tender. The Mauritius Kestrel was an obvious candidate — by 1974, the wild population had collapsed to an estimated four breeding pairs, making it arguably the rarest bird on earth at that moment.
The recovery program, spearheaded by Carl Jones beginning in the early 1980s, would eventually bring the species back from that precipice. The coin predates that success by nearly a decade.
