| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in red and brown tones with a portrait vignette of Carlos O. Zachrisson at right, rendered in fine intaglio line engraving. At left, a vertical panel carries a quetzal bird motif above the national coat of arms. The centre bears the large numeral '50' within an ornate guilloche oval, flanked by the inscription 'CINCUENTA QUETZALES', with the bank title 'BANCO DE GUATEMALA / GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA' across the top margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red and violet tones and centres on a large intaglio vignette of a coffee harvest scene — workers picking and processing coffee cherries beneath a volcanic peak, within a decorative rectangular frame. Mayan decorative motifs in purple form vertical borders at each side, and the denomination inscription 'CINCUENTA QUETZALES' appears below the central vignette. The printer's imprint 'GIESECKE & DEVRIENT-MUNCHEN' is visible in the lower left margin. |
