| Obverse description | The obverse is based on the 50,000 Korona note (P#71), overprinted with the green two-line text 'NÉGY PENGŐ' at lower centre, converting its face value for provisional pengő circulation. The underlying note carries a central vignette of a young woman in profile at right, flanked by elaborate red guilloche borders with '50000' numerals at each corner, and bears the original Budapest date of 1 May 1923 along with the serial number and signature of the Pénzügyminister. The overprint '4' also appears in manuscript at the top centre above the 'PENGŐ' legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse retains the original design of the 50,000 Korona note, dominated by a large central panel with the bold gothic-style inscription 'ÖTVENEZER KORONA' set within intricate red guilloche lacework. The denomination is rendered in six languages surrounding the central cartouche: Romanian (CINCI ZECI MII COROANE), German (FÜNFZIGTAUSEND KRONEN), Czech (PÄŤDESIATTISÍC KORÚN), Serbian (ПЕДЕСЕТ ХИЉАДА КРУНА), and Russian (ПЯТЬДЕСЯТЬ ТЫСЯЧЪ КОРУНЪ), reflecting the multinational character of the former Habsburg monetary sphere. Corner numerals '50000' repeat within ornate rosette panels at each angle. |
