| Reverse description | The central field features the numeral '50' and the Latin legend 'SEN' superimposed upon a cogwheel, symbolizing industry. A sheaf of wheat and rice ears forms a decorative bundle behind the cogwheel, while two fish flank the composition symmetrically on either side. The Japanese government name is inscribed across the top in kanji, and the Shōwa reign year appears at the base of the design. |
