| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uruguay is displayed prominently in the center of the obverse, featuring an oval escutcheon divided into four quarters depicting a scales of justice, a fortified hilltop, a horse, and an ox, surmounted by a radiant rising sun. The shield is flanked on either side by laurel and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon, forming a wreath. The circular legend REPÚBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The date 1970 appears in the lower field, divided by the tied wreath, with the Santiago mint mark 'S' positioned below the date. The overall design is executed in a crisp, neoclassical engraving style typical of mid-twentieth-century South American coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the large numeral '50' dominating the left and central field in bold, incuse-style raised figures, with the denomination legend PESOS inscribed in smaller capitals beneath. To the right, two overlapping stalks of wheat rise gracefully from the lower field toward the upper right, their detailed ears rendered with fine engraving to convey the agricultural heritage of Uruguay. The composition is clean and uncluttered, with the denomination and wheat motif occupying the full face of the coin within a plain raised rim. |
