| Obverse description | A stylised frontal depiction of a Brandt's hedgehog (Hemiechinus hypomelas) occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with fine radiating quill detail fanning outward across the upper portion of the coin. The dark, smooth facial area of the animal is shown in high contrast against the surrounding spines, with small eyes and a rounded snout visible at centre. The denomination '50' appears prominently within the upper quill region, with 'ТЕҢГЕ' inscribed below it. The circular legend 'ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ БАНКІ' arcs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic script, with the date '2013' positioned below it above the figure, and the Kazakhstan Mint monogram (KMC) appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed frontal portrait of a Brandt's hedgehog fills the entire reverse field, depicted in a naturalistic engraving style with finely incised quills radiating outward from the animal's face to the coin's edge. The hedgehog's smooth facial features — rounded ears, small dark eyes, and a prominent nose — are rendered in soft relief at centre, surrounded by densely textured spine work and scattered foliage or nesting material in the lower field. The Kazakh name of the species, 'ҚАРА КІРПІ', arcs along the upper border in Cyrillic script, while the Latin binomial 'HEMIECHINUS HYPOMELAS' curves around the lower periphery, together identifying the species depicted. |
