| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and green on white paper, with the bold heading BANCO DE MARACAIBO across the top under the words CAPITAL and the bank's capital figure. A central intaglio vignette presents a seated female allegorical figure with a chest and produce, flanked by two green guilloche ovals each bearing the numeral 50. To the left margin stands an engraved figure of a laborer, while the Venezuelan coat of arms occupies the lower right. The legend VALE CINCUENTA BOLIVARES is displayed in two lines across the center, with a B50 panel beneath the central vignette and the diagonal overprint COMPAÑIA ANONIMA across the face. |
