| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a lively harbour scene with workers carrying bunches of bananas in the foreground, a large cargo vessel and port cranes visible in the middle ground, and tropical foliage to the right. The denomination 'CINQUANTE FRANCS' appears in the upper left panel alongside the numeral '50' at upper right, with two facsimile signatures below the title block. Border inscriptions on all four sides read 'DÉPARTEMENT DE LA GUADELOUPE', 'DÉPARTEMENT DE LA GUYANE', and 'DÉPARTEMENT DE LA MARTINIQUE', while the issuer inscription 'INSTITUT D'ÉMISSION DES DÉPARTEMENTS D'OUTRE-MER' runs along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a colourful vignette of a West Indian couple in traditional dress — a woman wearing an elaborate madras head-tie with jewellery at left, and a man in a broad-brimmed straw hat at right — set against a tranquil tropical coastal landscape with palm trees and a thatched dwelling. The denomination 'CINQUANTE FRANCS' is printed in blue across the centre of the note, with the numeral '50' at upper right. The same departmental border inscriptions frame all four sides, and the issuer name 'INSTITUT D'ÉMISSION DES DÉPARTEMENTS D'OUTRE-MER' appears along the bottom edge. |
