| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is arranged around two large circular guilloche medallions each containing a classical portrait bust in profile, set side by side at centre. The three-language denomination — CINQUANTE FRANCS, FÜNFZIG FRANKEN, and CINQUANTA FRANCHI — is printed horizontally across the central band between the medallions. Numeral 50 counters appear in each corner within ornamental frames, and a dense border of repeating micro-numerals encircles the entire design. |
