Beschrijving voorzijde	The crowned arms of the Belgian Congo occupy the central field, consisting of a shield surmounted by a royal crown. The date is divided by the shield, with '19' to the left and the final two digits to the right. A bilingual circular legend reads 'BELGISCH CONGO BELGE' along the upper arc and 'RUANDA-URUNDI' along the lower arc, flanked by small decorative stars. The design is rendered in a clean, low-relief style typical of mid-twentieth-century colonial coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A tall oil palm tree dominates the central field, its trunk serving as a divider between the large numeral '50' to the left and the denomination letter 'C' to the right, together forming the value '50 C'. The mint mark 'D.B.' appears in small characters at the base of the palm trunk on issues so marked. The bilingual legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' curves along the upper arc in French and 'CENTRALE BANK' along the lower arc in Dutch, each phrase flanked by a small star. The composition is simple and emblematic, with the oil palm as a well-known symbol of central African colonial coinage.
