| Obverse description | The note is dominated by an intricate guilloche underprint in teal and purple tones, with a large central vignette displaying the numeral "50" in purple on a contrasting background. The denomination "CINQUANTE" and "FRANCS" appear in large letterpress across the upper and lower registers respectively, while repeated side panels carry the inscriptions "SÉRIE DE 1944", "CINQUANTE FRANCS", and "ÉMIS EN FRANCE". The entire design is enclosed within a decorative border of fine guilloche lacework with ornamental corner devices. |

Within the oval, the French tricolour flag is rendered in full colour, set against a clouded sky background and supported by a decorative cartouche at the base. The republican motto arcs around the upper edge of the vignette, flanked by ornamental scrollwork and corner embellishments in the same blue and red palette. |
