| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette derived from a colonial-era postage stamp of Madagascar et Dépendances, printed in brown and olive tones, showing a rural harvesting scene with figures working in a field against a town skyline. The stamp vignette is enclosed within a decorative border with the inscription POSTES and the initials R F (République Française) at upper left and right, with the denomination 50 C. displayed in a bold box at lower centre. The overall composition retains the stamp's typographic and pictorial elements, characteristic of emergency small-change notes of the period. |
