| Obverse description | A standing winged figure of Saint Michael is depicted at center, trampling a dragon beneath his feet, with the denomination '50 FR' divided on either side of the figure. The design is executed in high relief with fine detail to the wings and drapery. A circular border frames the central device, with a raised legend surrounding the periphery in Dutch. The overall composition reflects the Art Deco aesthetic prevalent in Belgian commemorative issues of the interwar period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features an architectural rendering of the Brussels Exposition building in three-quarter perspective, depicted in detailed relief with the commemorative years '1835 - 1935' positioned above the structure. A semicircular legend in Dutch arcs around the lower portion of the design, referencing the centennial of Belgian railways.
