Obverse description At centre top, a central oval vignette presents a sailing ship at sea, flanked by two smaller oval panels each bearing the word FIFTY in white on a dark ground. Ornate guilloche borders run vertically along both left and right margins, with the denomination numeral 50 at each corner. A large blue letterpress FIFTY underprint spans the middle of the note, above the printed promise-to-pay text and manuscript signature, with the imprint of Charles Skipper and East, London, at the lower centre.

Reverse description The entire reverse is printed in blue, with a central rectangular vignette of a grand neoclassical building — the Ulster Bank head office in Belfast — rendered in fine intaglio detail with a broad staircase, columned facade, and sculptural roofline. The building vignette is framed by delicate scroll ornaments and set against a radiating pattern of fine wavy guilloche lines that fill the entire field to the edges, giving the note a strong anti-counterfeiting background.
