Reverse description	Printed entirely in brown, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate symmetric guilloche design with multiple interlocking lathe-work rosettes and scrollwork filling the field. The numeral "50" appears in large format at the center within a complex engine-turned medallion, flanked by mirror-image "50" counters at left and right. The issuing bank name is inscribed in letterpress across the upper and lower portions of the border.
