Reverse description	The reverse is printed in blue and centres on a large numeral 50 within an ornate guilloche oval, surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and floral arabesques. Four allegorical portrait medallions are disposed at the cardinal points of the oval — two female busts at upper left and upper right, and two further portrait vignettes at lower left and lower right — each framed within decorative cartouches. The denomination numeral 50 repeats in each outer corner, and two legal warning panels flank the central design.
