| 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. |

Norges Bank Seddeltrykkeri, the bank's in-house printing works in Oslo, produced this entire series without contracting abroad — a deliberate policy choice that kept note production under direct state control throughout the Cold War period. The series ran across six signature combinations over eleven years, tracking four changes in bank leadership, which makes dating individual notes straightforward from signatures alone when the year is illegible or absent.
The 1993-dated Skånland & Johansen issue represents the last appearance of that pairing before Moland took over on the 1995 notes, which closed out the series ahead of the P#46 replacement.
