| Obverse description | The pink guilloche-patterned centre field carries the bold letterpress denomination FÜNFZIG FRANKEN and the issuer legend DIE BANK IN BASEL in large capitals, with a promise-to-pay line above three signature spaces for Cassier, Präsident, and Director. A finely engraved female portrait vignette in an oval medallion appears at the top centre, flanked by tall lateral vignettes of standing putti or caryatid figures framing decorative cartouches with wheel ornaments, all in dark olive-brown intaglio printing. The lower margin bears the trilingual denominations CINQUANTE FRANCS and CINQUANTA FRANCHI alongside the Swiss cross emblem, with the emission year 1877 noted at foot. |
