| Reverse description | The German-language reverse of the original Austro-Hungarian Bank 50 Kronen note, with the imperial double-headed eagle vignette centred at the top above the main text panel. Two allegorical female figures in classical dress are positioned symmetrically on either side, matching the obverse composition, all within elaborate guilloche framework with the numeral '50' at each corner. The lower portion carries the denomination rendered in eight languages of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in two rows, without any overprint on this side. |
