Obverse description	The obverse is printed in red and grey, centered on the denomination '50' repeated at upper left and upper right, with 'CINQUANTE FRANCS' in bold red letterpress across the centre and 'PAYABLES A VUE' below. Allegorical vignettes of classical figures are arranged symmetrically at left and right within an ornate engraved border, with the bank title 'BANQUE NATIONALE' at the top. The date and place of issue appear in the central field above the serial number, with two manuscript signatures of the Caissier and Gouverneur at the lower centre; this example is perforated 'ANNULE' cancellation.
