| Obverse description | The centre of the obverse carries the Catalan coat of arms above a panoramic vignette of the town of Gósol set against the distinctive silhouette of Mount Pedraforca. The municipal obligation text is arranged in a linear letterpress format encircling the central design, attesting to the authority of the Ajuntament de Gósol and the July 1937 issue date. The composition is spare and typographic, characteristic of the Catalan Civil War emergency currency series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large geometric underprint in pale green, composed of interlocking rounded forms surrounding the bold numeral '50' at centre, with 'CENTIMS' printed in uppercase within a horizontal band flanked by stylised chevron ornaments. An oval violet municipal stamp of the Ajuntament de Gósol, bearing the local coat of arms, is applied to the left, alongside the hand-stamped series designation 'Sèrie A' and a printed serial number at upper right. The printer's imprint 'IMP. MOLINS - BERGA' appears at lower right, consistent with the letterpress production attributed to Imprenta Jaume Molins of Berga. |
