| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out within a plain rectangular border and carries the issuer's name — SOCIETE GENERALE POUR FAVORISER L'INDUSTRIE NATIONALE — in a curved arc along the upper margin, below the heading ROYAUME DE BELGIQUE. A central oval cartouche encloses the numeral 50, flanked by two decorative vignettes bearing heraldic or allegorical figures, with the denomination rendered in large script lettering as Cinquante Francs across the lower half. Serial number and series letter appear at both upper corners and along the lower margin, with signature lines for Le Trésorier and Le Gouverneur at the foot of the note; the illustrated example bears ANNULLE cancellation stamps. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the same typographical and vignette layout as the obverse, printed in mirror image as seen through the paper, with the ROYAUME DE BELGIQUE heading, the issuer's name, the central oval numeral 50 cartouche, and the Cinquante Francs script denomination all visible in reverse orientation. A manuscript or printed signature is present in the lower portion of the note. The overall impression is consistent with a note printed on both sides from the same plate or a closely related setting. |
