Reverse description	Central vignette within an oval frame presents the Independence Monument (Minaret of Knowledge and Ignorance) in Kabul, set among trees in a finely engraved intaglio scene. Flanking the central vignette are two large circular guilloche medallions bearing the denomination 50 in both scripts, all rendered in blue-violet tones on an ornate lathe-work background. A panel of Pashto inscriptive text runs along the lower margin, with the bank name and denomination repeated in the upper corners.
