Obverse description	Central vignette within an oval frame presents a cotton plant with open bolls and leaves, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The bank title BANQUE NATIONALE DE LA REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI arches across the top, with the denomination numeral 50 repeated in the four corners against an elaborate guilloche underprint in green and red. A text panel below the vignette states the payability clause in French, referencing the convention rate of five gourdes to one US dollar.
