Obverse description Printed in black on a light blue guilloche underprint, the face is dominated by a large bold letter 'B' occupying the centre, serving simultaneously as a security underprint element and principal design device. Japanese characters for fifty sen (五拾錢) appear in the upper centre and at left, with the denomination '50 SEN' repeated at upper right and lower right within a circular cartouche, while the English legend 'FIFTY SEN' and 'SERIES 100' are inscribed in the lower portion. The serial number is printed in blue, framed above and below by ornate scrollwork corner vignettes, with 'MILITARY CURRENCY' across the top border and '軍票' (military scrip) in a panel at the foot.
