Obverse description Central field features the numeral '50' enclosed within a raised circular ring, evoking a large stylised 'C' for centavos. The legend SANTANDER arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1902 positioned along the lower periphery. The design is bold and utilitarian in character, consistent with wartime emergency coinage produced under primitive striking conditions.

Reverse description The reverse is the mirror image of the obverse, produced by the coin being struck through so that the design is impressed in incuse and reversed. The legends SANTANDER and 1902 appear in retrograde around the central numeral '50', all elements being the incuse counterpart of the obverse relief. This characteristic is typical of emergency issues where a single die was punched through a brass blank.
