| Obverse description | Printed in green intaglio on white cotton paper, the obverse bears the bank title BANCO DE MARACAIBO in bold lettering across the upper portion, with COMPAÑIA ANONIMA inscribed within a central oval guilloche underprint. The central vignette presents an allegorical agricultural scene with labouring figures, flanked by lateral vignettes of a standing male figure at left and a sailing vessel at right, all within ornate engine-turned lathe-work borders; denomination counters reading 50 occupy each corner, with CINCUENTA BOLIVARES in the lower register. |

| Reverse description | Engraved entirely in green on white paper, the reverse is organised as a tripartite guilloche composition in which two large oval counters bearing the numeral 50 flank a central ornate medallion of intricate lathe-work enclosing a stylised floral cross motif, the whole enclosed within successive rectangular frames of engine-turned geometric patterning extending to the note's margins. |
