Obverse description	Vertical format note printed in brown and pink tones on a fine guilloche underprint. The central vignette presents a symmetrical composition of two confronting dragons beneath a chrysanthemum imperial seal flanked by a pair of cranes, all enclosed within an ornate cartouche; denomination numerals '50' appear at lower left and lower right corners. Vertical marginal inscriptions in Russian Cyrillic and horizontal Chinese characters appear at the top and bottom, with the issuer legend '大日本帝國政府' (Great Imperial Japanese Government) printed within the central cartouche.

Reverse description	Vertical format reverse printed entirely in red on a cream paper ground. The design centers on a large ornate oval guilloche medallion enclosing a block of Chinese text warning against counterfeiting; below the medallion a circular underprint seal with additional Chinese characters is printed in red. The overall composition is uncluttered, relying on the intricate lace-like guilloche border of the oval for visual security.
