Reverse description A finely detailed rendition of the Japanese National Railways C62-class steam locomotive named 'Swallow' is depicted in three-quarter profile, travelling to the right across the central field. Billowing clouds of steam and smoke rise dramatically above the locomotive, filling the upper field and lending a sense of power and motion to the composition. The locomotive's characteristic streamlined boiler, large driving wheels, and detailed mechanical components are rendered with high relief. The legend 'FIFTY DOLLARS' arcs boldly along the upper periphery, while the locomotive's designation 'C62 "SWALLOW"' is inscribed in the lower-central field and the date '1996' appears along the bottom edge.
