| Obverse description | Printed in reddish-brown tones, the obverse centres on an oval intaglio portrait vignette of Sun Yat-sen set within a decorative frame. The issuer's name in Chinese characters (台灣銀行) appears across the upper portion, while the denomination in Chinese (伍角) is displayed in a cartouche below the portrait. The characters 金門 appear twice flanking the central design, indicating this note's specific circulation for Kinmen (Quemoy), with additional Chinese text at the foot noting the Republic of China year 39 (民國三十九年印). |

| Reverse description | The reverse, also in reddish-brown, presents a central vignette of a grand European-style bank building set against a lightly rendered sky with clouds, surrounded by an elaborate geometric and floral border. The inscription BANK OF TAIWAN arches across the upper register in bold serif lettering, and the denomination FIFTY CENTS appears in an ornate cartouche at the foot of the central frame. The characters 金門 are repeated on either side, reaffirming the Kinmen restricted-circulation status, with the numeral 50 repeated in each corner. |
