| Obverse description | The Belgian lion sejant facing right, rendered in high sculptural relief with a maned and crowned head, occupying the central field. The denomination '50 C' appears to the right of the lion, while the engraver's initials 'E.W.' are inscribed to the lower left. A raised baseline separates the central device from the date '1939', which appears prominently in the exergue below. The design is executed in a bold, naturalistic style characteristic of Ernest Wijnants. |
