| Obverse description | The face is printed in teal and violet, centred on a large numeral '50' within a framed vignette, repeated in smaller form at each corner. The bold letterpress inscriptions 'CINQUANTE FRANCS' and 'FRANCE' are set against an intricate multicolour guilloche underprint of interlocking scrollwork, with 'SÉRIE DE 1944' appearing in smaller text at left and right. A dense ornamental guilloche border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in blue and pink, with radiating guilloche linework emanating from a central oval cartouche bearing the bold inscription 'FRANCE' in large capitals. The republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' curves around the cartouche in smaller letterpress text, while acanthus scroll cornerpieces anchor each corner and a fine guilloche border runs along the full perimeter. |
