| Obverse description | A three-quarter portrait vignette of a young man wearing a woven brim hat occupies the left and centre of the note, rendered in intaglio against a rose and red guilloche underprint. At upper centre right, the national emblem — a starred shield with raised fist and the Akan motto GYE NYAME — is set within a star motif above the denomination text. A decorative Adinkra-style geometric panel appears at lower right, with the numeral 50 in large format at both upper right and lower left corners. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a group of workers engaged in communal agricultural labour — several figures are shown raking and processing grain on the ground, with stalks of crops visible in the background, all rendered in fine intaglio line work on a violet and pink guilloche ground. At left, an Adinkra geometric symbol and a black star appear above the numeral 50, with the Bank of Ghana inscription at upper left. A decorative chevron border in red and green runs along the top and bottom margins. |
