| 裏面の説明 | The reverse mirrors the obverse in design and colour, printed in the same dark rose-brown ink over a continuous guilloche lattice background. The central oval rosette frames the large white numeral '50', with the curved legend 'LATWIJAS MAIŅAS SIHME' arching along the upper margin and 'KAP.' positioned below the numeral, producing a note that is intentionally uniform on both sides. |

Latvia's Provisional Government issued this 50 Kapeikas note during a period when the new Latvian ruble was still competing with German occupation marks and Russian imperial rubles left over from the war. The kapeikas series — tiny by any measure — was a stopgap for small transactions while the country built its monetary infrastructure from scratch, having only declared independence in November 1918.
The 1920 dating places it after the armistice with Soviet Russia but before the lats replaced the ruble in 1922. Survival rates are surprisingly decent given the denomination's everyday use.
