| Reverse description | The large numeral '50' dominates the central field, rendered in a decorative dot-and-bead style with an ornamental interior pattern. Below the numeral, the word 'FRANCOS' is inscribed in bold capital letters, followed by the date of issue in the lower field. The legend 'BANQUE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE' is contained within a rectangular cartouche at the top of the design. The entire central motif is framed by an elaborate geometric border of zigzag and rope-twist patterns with stylised clasp ornaments at the cardinal points, characteristic of BEAC coinage design. |
