Obverse description	Intaglio portrait vignette of Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, the 19th-century Norwegian author and poet, occupies the left portion of the note, his name inscribed below in capital letters. The centre and right field carry a large guilloche numeral '50' set against a multicolour underprint of interlocking geometric patterns in teal, pink, and violet, with the bank title 'NOREGS BANK' in bold letterpress below. Two facsimile signatures of bank officials appear beneath the central vignette, with the issue date and series code printed to the lower right.

Reverse description	The central vignette presents a large intaglio reproduction of carved figures taken from the medieval Hylestad stave church portal, rendered in deep teal on a light ground and illustrating interlaced serpentine and figural motifs from the legend of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer. Multicolour guilloche borders in pink, orange, and green frame the composition on either side, while a bold lathe-work numeral '50' within concentric oval guilloches occupies the right field. The inscriptions 'FEMTI KRONER' and 'NOREGS BANK' are set in multicolour letterpress to the upper and lower right respectively.
