| Obverse description | Central device depicts a finely detailed relief of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven (Tiantan), Beijing, shown in three-quarter perspective atop its characteristic triple-tiered circular marble terrace with four cardinal stairways. The structure is rendered with exceptional architectural precision against a mirror-polished field. The Chinese legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs across the upper field in bold characters, while the date 1993 appears in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals. |

| Reverse description | Two giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are depicted in a naturalistic setting among bamboo sprays and flowering plants. The larger panda is shown in a seated upright position grasping a bamboo stalk, while a smaller, younger panda sits at lower left reaching upward toward the foliage, conveying a scene of playful interaction. The denomination 50元 appears in bold relief at the left field, and the fineness and weight inscription .999 Ag 5 OZ arcs across the upper field in Latin characters, attesting to the coin's five-troy-ounce fine silver content. |
