On the left and right on the outer ring there are images of laurel and oak branches, passing onto the disk. In the center of the disk there is the number "50" and the inscription "RUBLES" under it, indicating the denomination of the coin. Inside the number "0" there is a protective element in the form of the number "50" and the inscription "RUB", visible at different angles to the plane of the coin. At the bottom of the disk there is the trademark of the Moscow Mint.

On the reverse side of the coin there is a relief image of a fragment of the memorial complex "Saur-Mogila"; on the ring along the circumference there are relief inscriptions separated by dots: in the upper part – "YEAR OF THE DEFENDER OF THE FATHERLAND", in the lower part – "SAUR-MOGILA".
