| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed oval vignette at left centre containing a bust portrait of a young woman facing left, set within an ornate lathe-work border with acanthus corner ornaments and the numeral 50 repeated at upper left and lower centre. To the right, a large multicolour guilloche rosette in pink, blue, green and yellow serves as an underprint for the firm's advertising text in italic script. The upper right carries the firm name and address in letterpress. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse is occupied by an elaborate symmetrical guilloche design printed in multiple colours — red, pink, blue, teal, orange and violet — forming concentric lathe-work lobes and scrollwork that radiate from a central horizontal panel. That panel bears the firm name in bold letterpress capitals reserved in white against a deep background, flanked above and below by fine parallel rule lines and acanthus foliate ornaments, demonstrating the full range of the printer's security-printing and colour-blending capabilities. |
