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. |

St. Gallische Kantonalbank was one of several Swiss cantonal banks empowered to issue private banknotes before the Swiss National Bank's monopoly took effect in 1907. The commission going to Bradbury Wilkinson in London rather than a Swiss or continental house was entirely typical for the period — the firm's intaglio security work was among the most technically advanced available, and Swiss cantonal issuers regularly looked abroad for that reason.
Joseph Storck was a Viennese professor of ornamental design at the Kunstgewerbeschule, better known for decorative arts publications than banknote work — his involvement here suggests the commission was partly an artistic one, not purely a security printing brief.
