| Reverse description | Central field features a vivid full-colour depiction of two blooming Pleione formosana (Taiwan windowsill orchid) flowers, rendered with detailed petals in shades of magenta and pink, with white-fringed lips exhibiting orange and yellow markings, against a dark mirror-polished background. The scientific name PLEIONE FORMOSANA HAYATA arcs along the upper portion of the field in Latin script, with the Chinese characters 台灣一葉蘭 (Taiwan orchid) inscribed immediately below. The denomination 50¢ appears to the right in the field. The legend ASIAN WILDLIFE SERIES curves along the lower border, with a beaded rim encircling the entire design. |
