| Reverse description | Green-printed reverse dominated by three large interlocking guilloche rosette medallions arranged horizontally across the centre of the note, each incorporating the numeral "50" within its pattern. The denomination is stated in all three Swiss national languages in bold letterpress text: "CINQUANTE FRANCS", "FÜNFZIG FRANKEN", and "CINQUANTA FRANCHI". Corner counter boxes at each angle repeat the numeral "50", and a fine engine-turned lathe-work border frames the entire composition. |
