| Obverse description | A three-quarter portrait of a young woman wearing a woven straw hat occupies the right half of the note, set against a finely engraved floral and foliate underprint in muted tones. A blank unprinted vignette panel appears at centre-left, flanked by geometric guilloche border elements in green and ochre. The denomination numeral 50 appears in dark green at each upper corner, with the bank title and series letters printed above in letterpress. |

| Reverse description | A centre vignette presents a bust-length portrait of a Comorian man wearing a traditional embroidered kofia cap and striped garment, set before a coastal village scene with water and dwellings rendered in intaglio. The composition is framed by lush tropical foliage — banana leaves and flowering branches — with the denomination numeral 50 in red at each upper corner. A blue rectangular panel at the bottom centre carries the counterfeiting warning legend. |
