| Obverse description | The obverse is set against a fine typographic underprint formed by the repeated text "STORENORSKESPITSBERGENKULKOMPANI" printed in pale ink across the entire field, serving as the sole security background. The denomination "FEMTI KRONER" is rendered in bold letterpress type at centre, flanked by the numeral 50 on each side, with the issuer name "Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani Aktieselskap" above in a prominent serif font. Series designation, year (1973), and serial number appear in the upper portion, while the lower section carries the conditions of use in Norwegian and two manuscript signatures in blue ink. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green ink, with the same dense typographic underprint of repeated "STORENORSKESPITSBERGENKULKOMPANI" text covering the full surface. A large numeral "50" is formed in outline within the underprint at centre, visible as a latent watermark-style device created by the interruption of the background text pattern. No additional vignettes or inscriptions appear. |
