Reverse description	The denomination '50 FRANCS' is prominently displayed in large numerals and lettering at the center of the field. Framing the denomination is an elegant wreath composed of two distinct agricultural motifs: to the left, a millet or sorghum stalk bearing grain, and to the right, a coffee or cocoa branch with berries, reflecting the region's principal cash crops. Above the denomination, two cocoa pods are depicted horizontally, while below, groundnut plants with exposed pods rest at the base of the wreath. The date '1972' appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by small decorative stars. The circular legend 'UNION MONETAIRE OUEST-AFRICAINE' runs along the upper periphery.
