The centre carries the denomination title 'PHILIPPINES / FIFTY PESOS' in large bold lettering above the payability clause, with a serial number in blue above and below. A circular blue seal of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, countersigned by the United States of America, appears at right alongside two facsimile signatures, one for the President and one for the Auditor General. Denomination numerals '50' appear in guilloche panels at the corners, and the legend 'TREASURY CERTIFICATE' is inscribed along the lower border. |
