Obverse description	Central vignette of the Central Bank of Nigeria headquarters building rendered in fine intaglio line work, set against a guilloche underprint in salmon and blue tones. Denomination numerals '50K' appear in ornate cartouches at all four corners, with an additional large rosette medallion at lower left. A panel at lower right carries the denomination in Arabic script, and two manuscript signatures appear at bottom centre with the titles GOVERNOR and DIRECTOR OF CURRENCY OPERATIONS beneath them.

Reverse description	Central intaglio vignette of a timber-milling scene in which a worker in a wide-brimmed hat operates a mechanical circular saw to cut a large log, with a second worker standing to the right amid wood chips and a forested landscape in the background. To the left, a large circular guilloche medallion carries the issuer's name arranged in a curve, with the Nigerian coat of arms at its base. Denomination counters '50k' occupy the four corners within ornate lathe-work frames.
