| Obverse description | The national arms of Vanuatu occupy the central field, featuring a Melanesian warrior in traditional dress standing before a curved boar's tusk. The denomination 50 VATU appears above the arms, flanked by the country name RIPABLIK BLONG VANUATU in a circular legend. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto LONG GOD YUMI STANAP, meaning 'In God We Stand' in Bislama. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed high-relief effigy of a raccoon dominates the central field, rendered with intricate naturalistic detail in the fur and facial features. The animal's eyes are inlaid with two genuine onyx gemstones, adding a striking three-dimensional quality to the design. The inscription RACCOON appears above the figure, while the date 2013 is placed below in the exergue. The overall composition is characteristic of the contemporary collector coin series featuring wildlife subjects issued under Vanuatu's authority. |
