| Reverse description | A finely detailed Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) rendered in high relief, swimming to the right amid stylised ocean waves and air bubbles, occupying the central and lower fields. The scutes of the carapace and the texture of the flippers are rendered with naturalistic precision by engraver Horst Hahne. The denomination numeral 50 appears prominently in the upper left field, with the legend TENE to its right in smaller lettering. |
