| Reverse description | Two facing Vietnamese imperial dragons rendered in fine detail flank the central denomination, their sinuous scaled bodies curving symmetrically from the upper field down to the lower field where their heads meet beneath the denomination numerals. Each dragon chases a flaming pearl in the upper corners. The bold denomination 50 XU occupies the central field, with VIỆT NAM inscribed above in two lines and the word ESSAI appearing in small capitals at the bottom of the field. The design is enclosed by a scalloped inner border consistent with the obverse. |
