Bold circular cartouches at the lower left and lower right carry the denomination numeral '50' and the abbreviation 'PFG' respectively.

The denomination numeral '50' appears at the upper left and upper right corners, while a caption below the vignette reads 'Ruine Dagstuhl um 1800.' and a decorative scroll cartouche at the foot carries a two-line poetic inscription in gothic script. The printer's imprint 'SCHAAR & DATHE TRIER' is set in small type at the very bottom margin. |
