| Reverse description | A standing adult European Bison (Bison bonasus) dominates the central field, depicted in right profile with detailed engraving of its characteristic massive shoulders, shaggy forequarters, and short curved horns. A young calf stands in the foreground to the left, rendered at a smaller scale to convey depth. Both animals are set on a light ground line suggesting natural habitat. The arc legend 'ENDANGERED WORLD WILDLIFE' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '50 DOLLARS' is inscribed in two lines across the lower exergue. |
