| Reverse description | Pink and grey letterpress reverse with a répétition underprint of the issuers' names across the field. A richly detailed foliate and fruit vignette border — with bunches of grapes, pears, apples and vine leaves — frames the entire note, with the caduceus of Mercury at the top centre flanked by further fruit garlands, and a Gallic cockerel vignette at the bottom centre. Numeral 50 counters appear in circular cartouches at all four corners, with the lower two inverted. The central panel carries the emission date, the denomination in large pink underprint letters, and the redemption clause in letterpress. |
