Reverse description	An intaglio portrait of Christopher Columbus occupies the left half of the note, executed in purple-violet with fine line engraving and a white ruff collar characteristic of Renaissance-era portraiture. To his right, a vignette of period sailing vessels alludes to the 1492 voyage, set against a light guilloche background. The large numeral '50' appears at the lower right, with the bank title running vertically along the right margin.
