| Obverse description | The right-centre of the note bears an intaglio portrait vignette of President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in three-quarter view, set against a fine guilloche underprint in violet-purple tones. The bank title runs across the top within an ornate letterpress border, with the denomination '50' repeated in the upper corners and flanking vertical panels. Serial number and series designations appear above and below the central numeral, with two manuscript signatures and their titles printed beneath. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centres on a large pastoral vignette rendered in intaglio, presenting a flock of Angora goats and sheep grazing on an open plain with rolling hills and a lake or river visible in the middle distance. The scene is framed by an elaborate arched guilloche border with intricate corner ornaments and repeated '50 TÜRK LİRASI' panels at upper left and right. A blank circular reserve appears at the lower right of the central vignette. |
