| Obverse description | The note is dominated by the bold header 'THE ZANZIBAR GOVERNMENT' at top, flanked by the numeral '50' at each corner, set within an ornate guilloche border. At left, a vignette of a dhow under sail on the water appears within an arched frame, while at right a corresponding vignette shows figures harvesting cloves or fruit from tall trees. The central panel carries the promise-to-pay text in English, Arabic, and Gujarati scripts, with the denomination 'FIFTY RUPEES' in large letterpress type. |
