Beschrijving keerzijde	The denomination numeral 50 is boldly struck in large raised digits at the center of the field, with the word CENTAVOS inscribed in a smaller legend immediately below. The circular inscription REPÚBLICA · PORTUGUESA runs along the upper and lateral periphery, separated by a central dot, all contained within a beaded border. A small ornamental star or pellet appears at the base of the design. The reverse is devoid of additional imagery, placing full emphasis on the denomination in a clean, functional composition.

Aanvullende informatie	São Tomé and Príncipe's colonial coinage of this period was issued under Portuguese authority through the Overseas Financial Participation mechanism, which standardized bronze fractional coins across multiple African territories simultaneously. The 1971 date falls in the final years before the Carnation Revolution of April 1974 ended Portuguese colonial rule — independence followed in 1975, making this among the last issues struck for the islands under Lisbon's administration.
