| Obverse description | The left portion of the obverse carries a large intaglio numeral '50' in red-orange over an intricate green guilloche underprint, with the bank's trilingual name rendered in flowing script above and the issue date with three facsimile signatures and their role designations at lower left, while printer and designer credits appear in letterpress along the bottom margin. To the right, a finely engraved vignette in green presents a three-quarter portrait of a young girl wreathed in blossoms, accompanied by the Swiss cross emblem below and denomination numerals along the right border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two zones: at left, the bank's trilingual name in bold calligraphic script is superimposed over a red-orange guilloche panel with floral microprint ornaments, flanked by repeated denomination numerals along the outer edge. The right two-thirds carry a large intaglio vignette in green portraying an apple-harvest scene — a seated woman with a child and harvesters gathering fruit beneath laden orchard trees — executed in a detailed, classically inspired engraving style with a latent 'NBS' letterform grid as underprint. |
