| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large five-pointed star (Seal of Solomon), rendered in bold relief with interlaced geometric lines meeting at a central rosette motif. The interstices of the star are filled with elaborate arabesque scrollwork featuring stylized floral and foliate ornaments in the Moroccan decorative tradition. The entire design is contained within the dodecagonal flan, whose milled edge frames the composition. No inscriptions appear on this face. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is displayed prominently in the central field as the large numeral '50' flanked by the bilingual inscription 'CEN- / TIMES' in Latin script to the right. Above the numeral, Arabic script reads the denomination in two lines, and below appears a further Arabic legend. The central device is enclosed within an eight-pointed geometric star frame formed by interlocking square and diagonal bands, all set against a background of arabesque scrollwork that fills the field to the dodecagonal border. The word 'ESSAI' appears in Latin capitals at the base of the central panel, confirming the pattern status of this piece. |
