| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a multicolour intaglio rendering of Temple I (Temple of the Great Jaguar) at the Maya archaeological site of Tikal, rising steeply against a pale blue sky and surrounded by jungle canopy in olive and green tones. The large numeral Q0.50 in outline letterpress occupies the left field, while the inscription CINCUENTA CENTAVOS DE QUETZAL appears to the upper right. The border is formed by a geometric Mayan-motif guilloche band in brown and amber, with the denomination 1/2 repeated in the lower corners alongside small quetzal bird ornaments, and a frieze of Maya glyphs runs along the upper register beneath the bank name. |
