Obverse description The obverse is laid out in a letterpress format within a repetitive guilloche border, with the denomination '50' appearing in each corner and 'CENTAVOS' running vertically along both side margins. At the upper centre, the text 'TREASURY EMERGENCY CURRENCY CERTIFICATE' and the authority clause appear in small type, below which a redemption pledge is printed in italic script. The circular seal of the Commonwealth of the Philippines is applied to the left, while the large denomination 'FIFTY CENTAVOS' is printed in bold type at centre-right alongside the series date and a serial number. At the lower left, the printed names of board officials and a manuscript signature of the Chairman appear.

Reverse description The reverse is a plain letterpress composition enclosed within the same repetitive guilloche border as the obverse, with the denomination '50 cts.' and 'FIFTY CENTAVOS' printed across the top and bottom margins. The central field carries the issuing authority and country name at the head, followed by four text blocks: a redemption and non-devaluation pledge in English and Cebuano, and a counterfeiting warning similarly rendered in English and Cebuano.
