The Cyrillic legend ЧЕРЕПАХА БОЛОТНАЯ (Pond Turtle) arcs along the upper periphery, while the Latin binomial EMYS ORBICULARIS curves along the lower periphery. The denomination 50 КОПЕЕК is inscribed in the lower central field below the turtle motif.

Additional information

Mordovia is a real federal subject of Russia, but it has no authority to issue currency — making this a fantasy piece with no governmental backing, legal tender status, or official mint origin. These tokens circulated through novelty and souvenir markets in the early 2010s, often sold alongside similar fantasy issues attributed to other Russian republics. The "issuer" is a fiction.
